The priory of Meillerie, founded around 1130, is first mentioned in 1154. It was founded by Canons Regular of St. Augustine, who soon joined the Grand Saint-Bernard congregation in the 12th century. In the 1220s, the priory was completely rebuilt and fortified. It became the center of a vast religious and temporal seigneury, as well as the main residence of the provosts, heads of the congregation. The priory was abolished in 1752.
