Ancient Spanish Monastery
16711 West Dixie Highway, North Miami Beach
FL (305) 945-1461
The Monastery of St. Bernard de Clairvaux was built in Sacramenia,
in the Province of Segovia, Spain, during the period 1133·1141.
It was originally dedicated in honor of the Blessed Mother and
named the "Monastery of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels."
Upon the canonization of the famous Cistercian Monk, Bernard
of Clairvaux, a leading influence in the Church during that period,
the Monastery was renamed in his honor. Cistercian monks occupied
the monastery for nearly 700 years. The cloisters were seized,
sold, and converted into a granary and stable due to a social
revolution in that area in the mid·1830's.
