Carta Monastery is a former Cistercian (Benedictine) monasteryThe

monastery was probably founded in 1202-1206 by monks from Igrish abbey

(daughter house of Pontigny abbey) The Cistercian monastery introduced

and helped develop French Gothic art in the regionThe first buildings

of the monastery were built, according to Cistercian customs, using

perishable materials, most probably wood. These can be dated

relatively confidently as having been built in the founding period

(1205–1206). A few years later, approximately 1210-1215, a stone

chapel, the oratorium, was built close to the original wood

buildings.This inside details shows solar symbol present in different

ways from old time.
