- Опубліковано 14 сер 2020
- The Cârța Monastery, a Cistercian ex-monastery in the Făgăraș region - southern Transylvania - Romania, is currently an Evangelical Lutheran church belonging to the local Saxon community.
The monastery was probably founded in 1202-1206 by monks from Igriș Abbey (daughter house of Pontigny Abbey), and was disbanded in 1494, when the apostolic legate Ursus of Ursinis ratified Cârța Abbey's attachment to the Provostship nullius of Sibiu.
This Cistercian monastery introduced and helped develop French Gothic art in the region.
