Dominican convent Lienz
The Dominican convent Lienz (also: Klösterle Lienz or Maria Heimsuchung Lienz ) has been a monastery of the Dominican Order in Lienz in Austria since the 13th century .
history
According to tradition, the holy Hyacinth of Poland (as well as the Dominican monastery Friesach ) founded the Dominican monastery in Lienz in 1218 . After the sisters had privately taught the city's female youth since the 17th century, they opened a municipal girls' school in 1781, thus avoiding the wave of monastic closures in the age of Josephinism . Today's “Technical College for Economic Professions of Dominicans” ( FW and ALW Dominikanerinnen Lienz ) with 150 students developed from the school.
building
The monastery buildings are located in the west of the city between Schlossgasse and Isel . The monastery church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary , which was partially destroyed by a bomb on February 2, 1945 , was rebuilt. It has beautiful equipment.
Foundations
The Dominican convent Maria Steinach , which was dissolved by Joseph II in 1783 in Algund in South Tyrol , bought back by Lienz in 1848 and has been independent since 1863 , has been reunited with Lienz since 2018. In 1858 Lienz founded the Dominican convent Friesach in Carinthia, and in 1868 another monastery in Güns in Hungary.
