'''St. Bernard de Clairvaux Church''' is a [[Middle Ages|medieval]] [[Spain|Spanish]]

−

[[monastery]] cloister which was built in the town of [[Sacramenia]], in the

−

[[Segovia|Province of Segovia]], Spain in the 12th century and

−

relocated to [[North Miami Beach]], [[Florida]], [[USA]] in the 20th

−

century.

−

The [[Cistercian]] monastery dedicated to ''Santa Maria Real'' was constructed during the years [[1133]]-[[1141]]: its [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] abbey church remains one of the monuments of Sacramenia. Originally, it

−

was named "Monastery of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels", but was

−

renamed in the honor of [[Bernard of Clairvaux]] upon his

−

canonization. Use of the building as a Cistercian monastery lasted for

−

almost 700 years until it was seized and sold off to be used as a

−

granary and a stable during a period of social unrest in the

−

[[1830s]].

−

The monastery's [[cloister]]s and its outbuildings were purchased by

−

[[William Randolph Hearst]] in [[1925]]. In order to be transported to

−

the [[USA]], all building structures were carefully disassembled with

−

each piece being numbered and packaged in wooden crates lined with

−

hay. The total shipment comprised 11,000 crates. However, some of the

−

information contained in this labelling was lost when the shipment was

−

quarantined in the USA because of a break-out of [[hoof and mouth disease]] in Segovia. During the quarantine, the crates were opened

−

and the hay filling was burned as a measure to prevent the spread of

−

the disease. Afterwards, the content of the crates was not replaced

−

correctly. William Randolph Hearst was ultimately unable to pursue his

−

plan of rebuilding the monastery because of financial difficulties and

−

hence the pieces were stored in a warehouse in [[Brooklyn]], [[New York City]] until they were purchased in [[1952]] by Raymond Moss and

−

William Edgemon who intended to turn it into a tourist attraction in

−

northern [[Miami-Dade County]]. Reassembling the buildings at the site

−

of a small plant nursery took 19 months and cost almost 1.5 million

−

[[United States dollars]]. Some of the stones remained unused in the

−

process.

−

The property was purchased for the Episcopalian Diocese of South Florida by Bishop

−

Henry Louttit in [[1964]], which later became the Dioceses of Central,

−

Southeast and Southwest Florida. When the dioceses had to put the

−

monastery up for sale due to financial difficulties, it was purchased

−

by Colonel Robert Pentland, Jr. and given to the [[parish]] of St. Bernard de Clairvaux.
