CLAIRVAUX

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 418 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CLAIRVAUX , a
village
  of north-eastern France, in the department of
Aube
 , 40 M. E.S.E. of
Troyes
  on the Eastern railway to Belfort. Clairvaux (Clara Vallis) is situated in the valley of the
Aube
  on the eastern border of the Forest of Clairvaux. Its, celebrity is due to the abbey founded in 1115 by St
Bernard
 , which became the centre of the Cistercian order. The buildings (see ABBEY) belong for the most
part
  to the 18th
century
 , but there is a large storehouse which
dates
  from the 12th
century
 . The abbey, suppressed at the Revolution, now serves as a prison, containing on an
average
  800 inmates, who are employed in agricultural and industrial occupations. Clairvaux has iron-works of some importance.
