The statue of Saint Bernard at Clairvaux Abbey is a bronze statue made in 1921 by the French sculptor Paul Landowski. The statue shows Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, the founder of the abbey, in a praying position. The statue stands on a pedestal with an inscription that reads: "A saint Bernard, ses fils" (To Saint Bernard, his sons).
