Lindau Abbey ((ドイツ語:Reichsstift Lindau)) was a house of secular canonesses in Lindau on the Bodensee in Bavaria, Germany, which stands on an island in the lake. == History == The community, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, is traditionally held to have been founded by Count Adelbert of Raetia in about 822.〔or possibly 817〕 The town of Lindau grew round the foundation. The abbey was granted Imperial immediacy ((ドイツ語:Reichsfreiheit)) in 1466. During the Protestant Reformation on the mainland were the only places in this region to remain Catholic. The community was dissolved in 1802 in the course of the secularisation of Bavaria, and its assets taken over by the Austrian Princes of Bretzenstein, who in 1804 exchanged Lindau for estates in Bohemia and Hungary. In 1806 the territory returned to Bavaria. The residential and service buildings were used for local government offices. The canonesses' church became the present Roman Catholic minster-church of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the market place in the Old Town of Lindau. The church building originated at the same time as the religious community, that is, in the early 9th century. After the fire of 1728 that destroyed most of the town the church was rebuilt in Baroque style by the master builder Giovanni Gaspare Bagnato, who also built Schloss Mainau and the "New Castle" at Meersburg. The interior has Baroque ceiling paintings and Rococo decorations. 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「Lindau Abbey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
