Trinitarian Church (Vianden)
The Trinitarian Church is a Roman Catholic parish church and a former monastery church of the Trinitarian Order in Vianden in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg . It is consecrated to the Most Holy Trinity .
history
The monastery church was built in the 13th century as an early Gothic two-nave hall church. The Trinitarians ensured the liberation of Count Friedrich III. who was captured during the Fifth Crusade . His son Heinrich I then gave the Trinitarians the newly built hospital in the village in 1248; in the same year they built a monastery on the site with a monastery church. In 1266 it was declared a parish church as a replacement for the castle chapel .
In 1644 the medieval choir in front of the southern nave of the nave, the so-called monk's ship, was replaced by a larger choir in Gothic shapes. A sacristy was added to the north in 1790.
In 1783 the Trinitarian monastery was closed. The church became a parish church for the entire urban area of Viandens and the village of Roth an der Our as part of the annexation of the forest department to the diocese of Metz . After Roth became Prussian in 1815, this village was incorporated into the Diocese of Trier.
Furnishing
In the church there is the grave of Heinrich von Nassau , the grave of Maria von Sponheim - Vianden , a skull relic of Blessed Yolanda von Vianden and a reliquary with relics of St. Antony.
The high altar was designed in 1758 in the Rococo style by Michael Weiler. The altar of Our Lady and Joseph are from 1729. A statue of St. Joseph , which has been at the altar since 1992, dates from the 16th century.
