Altre informazioni:
The arched Gothic openings at the monastic chapter house of the Abbey of New Clairvaux that is being restored in Vina, CA, USA. The chapter house of the Abbey of New Clairvaux, that also includes a working vineyard and the open-to-the-public winery and tasting room. Currently, the community is in the process of reassembling what the monks call their "Sacred Stones, " the limestone blocks from the 800-year-old chapter house (meeting room) of the Cistercian monastery of Santa Maria de Ovila that once stood in Trillo, Guadalajara, Spain. William Randolph Hearst purchased and dismantled the chapter house of the old Spanish monastery in 1931 and had the stones shipped to California, intending to include them in Wyntoon, a grand home he was building in remote Northern California. Instead, Hearst gave the stones to the city of San Francisco as part of an arrangement to abate taxes that he owed. The stones sat in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park until 1994 when they were given to the abbey. The chapter house is being reconstructed outside the cloister of the Abbey of New Clairvaux. In October, 2008, the ancient chapter house's Gothic portal was completed. In 2009, construction on the interior of the chapter house began with Gothic columns rising to their capitals. The interior stone work is almost complete as of 2015, and the monks meet in the chapter house daily.
