The Abbey Mariengarten (lat. Abbatia Horti BMV ) is a monastery of Cistercian nuns in St. Pauls ( Appiano , South Tyrol ) in the Diocese of Bolzano-Bressanone .
history
The house is mentioned in a document as early as 1189 as Hof Blaze . From the end of the 14th century it had been owned by the Premonstratensian Monastery of Wilten as a winery for about 400 years . In 1882 the "Bloashof" was bought by the Cistercian abbey Lichtenthal near Baden-Baden in order to create an alternative at the time of the Kulturkampf in Germany . In 1883 it was settled with nuns.
In 1914 the priory was elevated to an independent abbey and incorporated into the Cistercian order in 1982. The nuns earn their living through a middle school with boarding school , wine and fruit growing and a wafer bakery . The current superior of the convent , M. Irmengard Senoner, is the third abbess after M. Caritas Thoma and M. Beatrix Welte.
The monastery belongs to the Mehrerau congregation .
