Explanation:

The monastery and cloister of Saint Bernard de Clairvaux was built between 1133 and 1141 in Sacramenia, Segóvia province in Spain, its construction was undertaken during the reign of Alfonso VII, King of Leon and Castile.

The monastery and its cloister were dedicated to the Holy Mother and called 'Monastery of Our Lady Queen of the Angels'.

When the monk Bernard de Clarivaux, a very influential man in the church of his time, was canonized, the monastery was renamed with his name. The friars cisterciences occupied the place for almost 700 years.

In 1830, as a result of a revolt in the region, the buildings and land were sold, the cloister was transformed into a barn and barn.

In 1925, the renowned American collector William R. Hearst bought the monastery, cloister and surrounding buildings for $ 500,000. Hearst wanted to rebuild them at his San Simeon estate in California, where it was said he intended to use it as a fencing for his pool.
