Monasteries are not the only buildings in the Cluniac network : Sites include Abbeys and Priories and Parish churches which came under the patronage of the Abbey of Cluny. Cluny also controlled the land that provided the supplies needed by the monasteries. The monks were also given other landholdings by benefactors which they managed for profit.
The monks of Cluny played an important role in the religious, political, economic, artistic and social life of medieval Europe and their network comprised a wide range of land, buildings and goods which supported these activities.
This makes the calculation of a precise number of Cluniac sites difficult/problematic ? but we do know that there are Cluniac sites throughout Western Europe in France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain, Belgium and stretching as far as Poland and Jerusalem !
