Fontenay Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The Abbey of Fontenay is one of the "daughters" of Citeaux. The Cistercian movement was founded by Bernard de Clairvaux, in Clairvaux itself in the current department of Aube, in the Champenoise region. The religious movement spread after the creation of the main abbey in Burgundy which took the name of Citeaux. The latter was created in 1068 between Beaune and Seurre then the order spread throughout France and Europe. The Cistercian movement comes from the name of a plant, the Cistella, which grew in the swamps that the monks were trying to clean up. In memory of their struggle in the face of hostile nature, they named their order after this simple plant. This movement starts from the observation that to touch God, we must live by humbly working the earth. The Fontenay building is a perfect example of sobriety, simplicity and silence. All these attributes reflect the very soul of the Cistercians and are found here.
