Abbey Church
Wechselburg Priory , formerly Wechselburg Abbey (Kloster Wechselburg ) is a Benedictine priory in Wechselburg in Saxony , dissolved in the 16th century and re-founded in 1993.
First foundation
[ edit ]
Dedo V of Wettin founded the monastery, dedicated in 1168. Henry the Illustrious, Margrave of Meissen made a gift of it in 1278 to the Teutonic Order . In 1543 the abbey with all its possessions came into the hands of the territorial prince, Maurice, Elector of Saxony . It was eventually dissolved in 1570.
Castle
[ edit ]
After the Thirty Years' War (1618–48) the lords of Schönburg built a Baroque castle (Schloss Wechselburg ) on the foundations of the ruined abbey, which remained in the same family until their dispossession in 1945.
Second foundation
[ edit ]
After the end of World War II the abbey church became the parish church and also a place of pilgrimage. In 1993 Benedictine monks from Ettal Abbey re-founded Wechselburg as a priory. Although the community is still small, they run a youth and family centre and are involved in pastoral care and managing the pilgrimages.
Because of its dependency on Ettal, Wechselburg is the only non-Bavarian monastery to be a member of the Bavarian Congregation of the Benedictine Confederation .
Basilica
[ edit ]
The Romanesque basilica of the Holy Cross remains as the parish church. It is famous for its huge and intricately carved mediaeval rood screen .[1]
