Trois-Fontaines Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Trois-Fontaines-l'Abbaye, France

The monumental gateway of Trois-Fontaines Abbey features four Corinthian columns supporting a terrace and showcases refined Romanesque architectural elements throughout its structure.

Founded in 1118 by Bernard of Clairvaux, the abbey became the mother house for several Cistercian establishments including Lachalade, Orval, and Cheminon between 1128 and 1138.

The abbey grounds include a bicycle museum in former outbuildings, combining religious heritage with modern cultural exhibitions for visitors to explore.

From July through August, the abbey opens its doors every Sunday between 2 PM and 7 PM for guided tours and artistic demonstrations.

The initial wooden church was replaced by a stone structure following the Bernardine plan, measuring 70 meters in length and 40 meters across the transept.
