of the Châtillonnais (Côte-d’Or) region of Burgundy, a few kilometers from Montbard, the Cistercian abbey of Fontenay was founded by St. Bernard of Clairvaux in 1118 on the site of a former hermitage on land donated by his maternal uncle.
The forge's furnace was powered by charcoal from the neighboring forests of the Châtillonnais, the destruction of which helped fuel the iron industry of the region.
The architecture of Fontenay is one of the best preserved examples of the austere and powerful Cistercian style, which eschewed the lovely representational sculptural tradition of Cluny and other Burgundian centers of Benedictine monasticism and embraced Bernard's call for simplicity, abstraction and purity of line.
