history
The oldest monastery in today's Slovakia was founded on Mount Zobor in the early 11th century at the latest. Other Benedictine monasteries followed him . Premonstratensians and Cistercians came from the 12th century, and mendicant orders of the Franciscans , Dominicans and Augustinian hermits in the 13th century , followed by other orders. In the 16th century, most of the monasteries were closed in the course of the Reformation and also because of the threat from the Ottomans.
In the late 17th century, branches of new orders such as the Jesuits were founded as a result of the Counter Reformation, and some older monasteries were repossessed by their orders. In 1787, many monasteries were closed by Emperor Joseph II during his secularizations. In the early 19th century some of them were used again, and new orders such as the Salesians , Redemptorists and Salvatorians were established . In 1950 all monasteries in Slovakia were closed.
Since 1990 religious branches could be established again, in 1998 58 monasteries and religious houses should have existed in Slovakia.
