Cistercian abbey

Ardenne Abbey is a small religious community in St. Helena, California, founded in 1979 by a group of Cistercian monks from France. The monks administer the abbey as well as several other monastic communities throughout California. They share a similar belief system with the Roman Catholic Church, although there are some differences between them. They participate in regular prayer, work, and worship (including weekly community meals), but also take naps.

Nestled in the lush landscape of the Ardennes in western France, the Abbey of Fontenelle is a testament to the golden age of Cistercian architecture in the 12th century. The stone buildings of this impressive complex were built between 1139 and 1179 in the Romanesque style. Although the buildings fell into disrepair over history, the abbey was renovated in the mid-20th century and is now a well-preserved monument to its monastic past.

Conclusion

In summary, the abbeys in the Belgian Ardennes date back to the 11th century, and most of these sites have been preserved throughout history. Their only difference from the others is that they were founded after the first religious orders appeared in the Belgian countryside between the 6th and 9th centuries.

Some of the monastery ruins are visible from the road, others are rather difficult to reach. The abbeys of Munster, Ronchamp and St. Marie-Laval as well as some castles are easy to reach from a romantic hotel in the Belgian Ardennes.
