Summary

[edit]
Description

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbey_of_Fontenay" rel="nofollow">Fontenay Abbey</a> Unesco World Heritage Site.

The Abbey of Fontenay is a former Cistercian abbey located in the commune of Marmagne, near Montbard, in the département of Côte-d'Or in France. It was founded by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in 1118, and built in the Romanesque style. It is one of the oldest and most complete Cistercian abbeys in Europe, and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. Of the original complex comprising church, dormitory, cloister, chapter house, caldarium, refectory, dovecote and forge, all remain intact except the refectory and are well maintained. The Abbey of Fontenay, along with other Cistercian abbeys, forms a connecting link between Romanesque and Gothic architectures.


The Cloisters

This very splendid section of the Abbey forms the very heart of the monastery, and is where the monks would have read and carried out their practical tasks. The four galleries which enclose the interior courtyard make up a rectangle of 36 metres by 38 metres.
