Cîteaux

Abbey in the département of Côte-d'Or, northeast of Beaune, Burgundy, France. Here the monastic order of Cistercians was founded in 1098. Little survives of the medieval abbey; fine buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries remain.

The annual general chapter of the Reformed Cistercians, or Trappists, is held at Cîteaux.
