Dieulouard (French pronunciation:[djølwaʁ]; formerly Dieulwart) is acommune in theMeurthe-et-Moselledepartment in north-easternFrance. Dieulouard is located betweenPont-à-Mousson andNancy, on the left bank of theMoselle. It is the location of the Gallo-Roman city ofScarpone.
In August 1608 a small group of exiled EnglishBenedictines were given a deserted collegiate church in the town. The church was dedicated to St Laurence and so the monks adopted him as the patron of their community. During the French Revolution the community was forced to flee France. In 1802 the monks settled atAmpleforth Abbey in North Yorkshire.
