Premonstratensians
Variant namesThe Premonstratensians were founded by St. Norbert of Xanten at Premontre, France, in 1120. The founder intended the order to blend the contemplative with the active religious life. Norbertine life is intensely liturgical with particular attention given to the liturgy of the eucharist. Through Norbert's friendship with St. Bernard of Clairvaux the life also shows distinct Cistercian influences. The order suffered severely during the French Revolution and had become nearly extinct in the early nineteenth century. Since then, the order has become especially strong in Belgium.
