165 FR - Cistercian Abbey of Fontenay (1981)

Brief Description

"This stark Burgundian monastery was founded by St Bernard in 1119. With its church, cloister, refectory, sleeping quarters, bakery and ironworks, it is an excellent illustration of the ideal of self-sufficiency as practised by the earliest communities of Cistercian monks."

丰特莱的西斯特尔教团修道院

"这座刻板的勃艮第修道院由圣伯纳尔(St Bernard)修建于1119年,修道院的教堂、回廊、餐厅、住宿区、面包房和钢铁厂一起,完美诠释了早期西斯特尔教团修道士自给自足的理想。"
