Chapter House, Fontenay Abbey, Marmagne, Cote d'Or, France. This Cistercian abbey was founded by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in 1119, built in the Romanesque style. The abbey itself housed 300 monks from 1200, but was sacked during the French Revolution. An arch leads from the cloister directly to the Chapter House, a rib-vaulted open chamber where the monks gathered daily to read a chapter from St Benedict's Rule. The vaults are supported by elegant piers of clustered columns with capitals decorated with a water leaf motif. The Chapter House has two small annexes, a sacristy and a parlour.
