Abbey of Trois-Fontaines
The Abbey of Sainte Marie des Trois-Fontaines, (Trois-Fontaines, Marne, France), a Cistercian abbey in Champagne, was the first of the Cistercian daughter-houses, established north of the head of navigation of the Marne at Saint-Dizier by Bernard of Clairvaux in 1121, though it never figured among the "Elder Daughters" of Cîteaux—Clairvaux, Pontigny, La Ferté and Morimond— that dominated the hierarchic network of the Order.
