history
Cistercian monastery
The monastery was founded as a Benedictine settlement in 1219 by Banus Chepan, the son of the palatine Stephan von Ják , and incorporated into the Cistercian order in 1234 as a subsidiary of the Szentgotthárd Monastery (Hungary). It thus belonged to the filiation of the Clairvaux Primary Abbey . In 1327 King Charles I granted the right of patronage to the Sitkey family, descended from the Jákern, but in 1455 it passed to the mercenary leader Berthold von Ellerbach. The villages of Pernau (Pornó), Großdorf (Keresztes), Unterbildein (Alsó Beled), Höll and All Saints ( Pinkamindszent ) belonged to the estate of the monastery . The monastery also included a grangie and two mills on the Pinka in Allerheiligen and Pernau. The monastery also owned vineyards in Deutsch-Großdorf am Eisenberg. In 1526 the monastery was abandoned by the monks because of the Turkish threat.
Reuse
In 1552 the complex was fortified. In 1593 the rule of the monastery was transferred to the cathedral chapter of Zagreb (Agram). The monastery was still intact at that time. In 1605 Emperor Rudolf gave the rule to Ferdinand Lang von Langenfels, the son of his valet Philipp Lang von Langenfels . 1609 she went to Count Georg Draskovich, the bishop of Győr , the title abbas Pornensis led, and the monastery 1640/43 to the Jesuits of Sopron handed (Sopron), which until the Suppression of the Society of Jesus remained in the 1773rd
Then the rule was incorporated into the study fund , but sold to Count Carl Esterházy in 1803 . From there it passed to Prince Johann von Liechtenstein in 1825 and to Archduke Franz von Modena in 1832 , from whom it came to the Wittelsbach family, in whose hands it remained until recently. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the complex fell into disrepair and in 1799 the remains were demolished. Some of the building material was used for the Pornóapáti Town Hall .
Buildings and plant
The last remnant of the monastery is a capital used as a holy water font in the parish church of Pornóapáti. Next to it are the ruins of Ómajor on the Hungarian side.
