An abbey. Almost one thousand years old. Erected by strict Cistercians, and secularized after Napoleon. Today an impressively dense Gesamtkunstwerk featuring remnants from romanesque, gothic and baroque times among lushly green forests. The concept: sober clarity and a reduction to the essential. Modesty and implicitness. And the intention to translate atmospherically the handed down writings of Bernhard of Clairvaux.
