@MyBetty111 This area of the monastery is known as the Chapter Room. It is used for numerous purposes. Weekly community meetings, a place for retreat masters or visiting speakers to lecture, a place of voting on issues within the community, profession of temporal vows and as in this video, clothing and official entrance into the novitiate for monastic formation.
@MyBetty111 The Cistercian order is rooted in simplicity. The abbey churches are generally sparsely decorated while being very beautiful.

Is this the chapel? It looks like a men's room. Where is the altar? the iconography? the statues? Is this what Vatican II has done? I hope not.
