Cistercian. The monastic Order founded at Cîteaux in Burgundy (1098) as an offshoot of the
Benedictine rules. Cistercian architecture was international, and plans and elevations were severely simple.
Chancels had straight, rather than apsidal, ends, and chapels attached to the
transepts were also squared off. The earliest surviving complete Cistercian church is Fontenay (1139–47), while one of the finest is Pontigny (
c.1160–1200), both in Burgundy. Impressive ruins of large establishments can be found in England at Byland, Fountains, Kirkstall, and Rievaulx in Yorks., Furness in North Lancs., and Greyabbey, Co. Down. Other Cistercian houses include Fossanova (Italy), Heiligenkreuz, and Zwettl (both Austria).
