Geras Abbey (''Stift Geras'') is a Premonstratensian monastery in Geras in Lower Austria. Since 1783 it has also owned the premises of the former Pernegg Abbey nearby. ==History== The abbey was founded in 1153 as a daughter house of Seelau Abbey〔Seelau is now Želiv in the Czech Republic〕 by Ekbert and Ulrich of Pernegg and settled by canons from Seelau. Geras Abbey was able to survive the reforms of the Emperor Joseph II and the consequent monastery closures of 1783, and remains in operation to this day. The abbey church is a Romanesque basilica which was reworked in the Baroque style in the 18th century by the architect Josef Munggenast and the fresco painter Paul Troger. In 1953 the church was given the title of Papal basilica. Today the abbey is often used as a venue for classical music recitals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Geras Abbey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
