Namedy Cistercian Convent

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cistercian monastery Namedy was a monastery of the Cistercian women in Andernach in Rhineland-Palatinate from 1208 to 1573 .

history

It is believed that Gerhard von Rennenberg and his wife Benedicta founded the Cistercian convent of St. Catharina between 1208 and 1225 , which is documented for the first time in 1255. The history of the monastery is closely connected to the patrician family Husmann (also: Hausmann), who lived in the nearby Namedy Castle , provided several abbesses and acted as donors. In 1573 the monastery was founded by the Archbishop of Trier , Jakob III. von Eltz , dissolved. In today's Andernach district of Namedy (= Nomen Dei , "Name of God", at that time in front of the city gates) the monastery church, a prestigious early Gothic building, has been preserved in a modified form as the Catholic parish church of St. Bartholomew (Schlossstrasse 61).
