The Abbey of Saint-Cyran-en-Brenne, also known since 1975 as the Abbey of Saint-Michel-en-Brenne, and originally as Saint-Pierre de Longoret, is an abbey in the town of Saint-Michel-en-Brenne in France, previously in the province of Berry and now in the department of Indre.Sigiran or Sigiramnus, later known as Saint Cyran, founded a monastery at Longoret around 632 CE on land offered to him by Dagobert I for that purpose. Dagobert frequently visited the monastery to hunt. The monastery, originally named Saint-Pierre de Longoret, later became an abbey and a royal foundation named after Saint Cyran. It kept Saint Cyran's relics, as well as those of saints Génitour, Sylvain and Fructueux, all of which were later re-housed in 1860 in a bronze reliquary.
