Though only one building remains, this Cistercian abbey once had a church the size of Paris' Notre Dame.

Founded in the XII th century by Saint Bernard, the abbey grew over the centuries to have the largest Cistercian chapter house in Europe, and a church the size of Notre Dame in Paris. Unfortunately, the abbey fell victim to conflict and was all but destroyed by the First World War. Today, amongst the surviving medieval architecture, visitors can explore the monks' room, the auditorium, the sacred passage, and the abbey garden which is itself a vegetable garden, an orchard, and a rose garden.
