Best Answer

It has not come to an end and there are still Cistercian monks today. In England all the monasteries occupied by Benedictines, Cistercians, Cluniacs, Carthusians and others were closed in the period 1538 to 1540 and all monks were either pensioned off or found alternative employment. Naturally, the Order continued to flourish in the rest of Europe.

In more recent times the Cistercians (and other Orders of monks and nuns) have returned to the UK to establish themselves again; a thriving community of Cistercians currently exists at Caldey Abbey in Wales, following a regime based closely on that followed by their medieval colleagues.

What is the difference between benedictine and cistercian?

Catholic Answer In the eleventh century, St. Robert of Molesme, who was a Benedictine monk founded a new monastic order based on the Rule of St. Benedict. The purpose was to live the Benedictine life upon more strict and austere lines. By the end of the twelfth century, the new Benedictine Order had 530 Cistercian abbeys and another 150 in the next century. The Cistercians wear an old white version of the typical Black Benedictine Habit. The Cistercians, in turn, were reformed in the 17th century, they are styled Cistercians of the Strict Observance or Trappists, who follow the Rule even more closely. They wear a white robe with a black scapular.
