Abbey'en ligger på Forges' område, omkring ti kilometer fra byen Chimay. Den blev grundlagt den 25. juli 1850 som et trappistkloster, på initiativ af ærede Herren Jourdain, præst i Virelles. Sytten munke fra klosteret St. Sixtus i Westvleteren begyndte at opdyrke et stykke jord, som var givet dem af prins Joseph de Chimay. Det etablerede fondationskors nævner: « Le 25 juillet 1850 les moines cisterciens fondant l’abbaye de Scourmont commencèrent à louer Dieu et à défricher la terre ». I 1871 blev klosteret en fuldgyldig abbey.
