Warming room, 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. Here we can see two large fireplaces where the monks could warm themselves. This warming room and the kitchen were the only heated rooms in the abbey. A door leads to the dormitory, so that some heat would reach the sleeping quarters.
