Sobrado Abbey,(Spanish: Monasterio de Santa María de Sobrado de los Monjes or Galician: Mosteiro de Santa María de Sobrado dos Monxes)
is a Cistercian monastery in the province of La Coruña, Galicia, Spain.
Armley Mills, Tower Works, with its campanile-inspired towers, and the Egyptian-style Temple Works hark back to the city's industrial past, while the site and ruins of Kirkstall Abbey display the beauty and
grandeur of Cistercian architecture.
It is thought that at some point preceding 1128, Hughes de Payen wrote a letter to Bernard of Clairvaux(later St. Bernard)
who not only had a lot of pull in his own Cistercian Order, but had plenty of influence in the Catholic Church as a whole.
