Stained glass window, Fontfroide Abbey
Stained glass window by Rene Billa in the dormitory of the lay brothers at Fontfroide Abbey or l'Abbaye Sainte-Marie de Fontfroide, Narbonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France. Founded by the Viscount of Narbonne in 1093, Fontfroide linked to the Cistercian order in 1145. The artist Rene Billa, 1875-1944, created 4 windows in this room, using fragments of broken coloured glass from church or cathedral windows which had been bombed in World War One.
