Gergeri Monastery (Mons Sancti Gregori; at Bedini: Gereri; at Becking: Gergeri; at www.ocist.org: Gergri) was a former Cistercian monastery in Greece . It was on the island of Crete , south-southwest of Heraklion .
history
The previously Greek monastery was attached to the Cistercian order after the cession of Crete to Venice as a result of the Fourth Crusade in 1218 as a subsidiary of the monastery of San Tommaso dei Borgognoni (Torcello) near Venice , which was itself a subsidiary of the Rosières monastery from the filiation of the primary abbey of Morimond was. When the monastery ended is unknown (see Zaraka Monastery ), but it still existed in 1273 and is said to have continued its work for several centuries. Since the Venetian rule over Crete lasted until the middle of the 17th century, the monastery may have existed until this time.
