About this place

Located in northern Burgundy, Fontenay Abbey was founded in 1118 by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, one of France’s greatest saints, and is the oldest surviving Cistercian abbey in the world.
Listed as a French historic monument in 1862, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1981. It was one of the first French monuments to feature on this list, which recognised the exceptional value of both the Fontenay abbey complex and its natural surroundings.
