Monastery of Saint Mary de Oya
Its construction began in 1185 on the south coast of the province of Pontevedra, as a monastery of the Cistercian order. It has a eighteenth century church. At present much of the monastery is in ruins.
Lainici Monastery is an Orthodox monastery of monks located in the Jiu Gorge, 32 kilometers from TĆ¢rgu-Jiu and 25 kilometers from PetroČani
It belongs to the Archdiocese of Craiova, Metropolitanate of Oltenia.
The monastery is dedicated to the Entry into the Church of the Virgin Mary.
The name āLainiciā has no clear origins. The name may have Greek origins: in ancient Greek, ālainosā means āof stoneā, in our case, āpassage through stone mountainsā.
Another, more plausible interpretation, would be that the term derives from the name of a Geto-Dacian tribe, the āLailiā, which is well known in the 4th ā 5th centuries together with the āBessiā in the Sarmisegetuzea area, about 80 km away from Lainici.
The truth still remains undiscovered.
The antiquity of the Holy Monastery of Lainici is lost in the mists of time, its beginnings being officially and historically unknown.
According to tradition, in the 14th century, Saint Nicodemus of Tismana was sent to Wallachia to support Orthodoxy and to give a new breath to the church.
He settled in a cave near the Lainici monastery.
Saint Nicodemus also founded the VodiČa monastery near Drobeta Turnu Severin and the Tismana Monastery, near which he lived as a hermit until the end of his life.
The importance of the settlement was also noticed by Empress Maria Theresa, who, through General Bukow, destroyed between 1750-1765 (in 15 years) hundreds of Orthodox settlements in Transylvania.
The hermitage, although not in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, located a few kilometers from the border, fell victim to the great anti-Orthodox persecution of the imperial power in Vienna.
The church, founded in the 14th - 15th centuries, was reportedly destroyed during that period.
From the second half of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century, historical documents referring to the Lainici Monastery begin to appear.
The hermitage monk Athanasius comes from Tismana to Lainici in 1780, and is mentioned in a seal in which he donates an estate to the monastery.
He gathers a community of 30 monks from the mountain valleys.
After his death, between 1810 and 1817, a handful of Oltena boyars rebuild the hermitage, this time from stone, with walls up to one meter thick.
The first two churches, Nicodimian and Athanasian, have not been preserved, but the current one was built on the site of the others.
During the First World War, in 1916ā1918, Lainici Monastery was severely damaged.
The German troops at first were placed there, and then burned the monastery.
The names of soldiers and officers who slept there and desecrated the church are still inscribed on the walls of the altar.
All the valuables, including the bells, were stolen by the German soldiers.
The archive of the monastery was burned, as well.
After 1989, due to the increasing number of believers, the Lainici Monastery felt the need for a larger and more spacious church.
On Sundays and on major religious holidays, services were held outdoors.
At the āHealing Springā in 1990, the foundation stone for the new cathedral church was laid by Metropolitan Nestor Vornicescu of Oltenia.
The church was started, designed schematically and built to the finishing stage by engineer Ioan Selejan, who later became bishop and archbishop.
The unique aspect of this church is the iconographic theme, which is intended to be realized.
Thus, the church in the basement will be intended for the Church of the Catacombs, painting the life of Christians from the year 1 to the year 313, representing most of the Saints and martyrdoms known from the History of the Church and from the Holy Tradition.
In 2006, on July 23, a copy of the miracle-working Icon "Gorgoepicuus", "The Hasty Hearer" was brought to the Lainici Monastery from Mount Athos, from the Dohiariu Monastery.
This Icon was made especially for the Lainici Monastery and is the fifth copy that has been made in the last 100 years from all over the world.
On April 10, 2009, on the eve of the celebration of the holy hierarch Calinic of Cernica, after 109 years, the relics of the saint Pious Irodion Ionescu, the confessor of Saint Calinic, the "LuceafÄrul de la Lainici", as he was nicknamed, were found.
The Monastery of Kremaston was founded in 1593 and is located 2.5 km away from Neapoli.

Mosteiro Santa Maria da VitĆ³ria, Monastery of Batalha.
It took over a century to build, starting in 1386 and ending circa 1517, spanning the reign of seven kings. It took the efforts of fifteen architects, but for seven of them the title was no more than an honorary title bestowed on them. The construction required an enormous effort, using extraordinary resources of men and material. New techniques and artistic styles, unknown at that time in Portugal, were deployed.
Parts of the monastery were unfortunately never finished.

Labrang is located in Xiahe County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu, in the traditional Tibetan area of Amdo. Labrang Monastery is home to the largest number of monks outside the Tibet Autonomous Region. Xiahe is about four hours by car from the provincial capital Lanzhou.
In the early part of the 20th century, Labrang was by far the largest and most influential monastery in Amdo. It is located on the Daxia River, a tributary of the Yellow River.
The monastery was founded in 1709 by the first Jamyang ZhĆ©pa, Ngawang TsƶndrĆ¼.It is Tibetan Buddhism's most important monastery town outside the Tibetan Autonomous Region.
Labrang Monastery is situated at the strategic intersection of two major Asian culturesāTibetan and Mongolian ā and was one of the largest Buddhist monastic universities. In the early 20th century, it housed several thousand monks. Labrang was also a gathering point for numerous annual religious festivals and was the seat of a Tibetan power base that strove to maintain regional autonomy through the shifting alliances and bloody conflicts that took place between 1700 and 1950.[5]
In April 1985 the Assembly Hall burned down. It was replaced and the new building was consecrated in 1990
The monastery complex dominates the western part of the village. The white walls and gilded roofs feature a blend of Tibetan and Indian Vihara architectural styles. The monastery contains 18 halls, six institutes of learning, a gilded stupa, a sutra debate area, and houses nearly 60,000 sutras.
At its height the monastery housed 4,000 monks. Like so many religious institutions, it suffered during the Cultural Revolution; and the monks were sent to their villages to work. After it was reopened in 1980, many of the monks returned; but the government restricted enrolment to around 1,500.[7]
It has a Buddhist museum with a large collection of Buddha statues, sutras and murals. In addition, a large amount of Tibetan language books, including books on history is available for purchase, together with medicines, calendars, music and art objects.
There used to be a great gold-painted statue of the Buddha, more than 50 feet high, which was surrounded by rows of surrounding Buddhas in niches.[8]
The monastery today is an important place for Buddhist ceremonies and activities. From January 4 to 17 and June 26, to July 15, (these dates may change according to the lunar calendar), the great Buddhist ceremony will be held with Buddha-unfolding, sutra enchanting, praying, sutra debates, etc.
Monastery is a medieval monastery and is one of the famous painted monasteries from southern Bukovina, in Suceava County. Monastery was constructed by Stephen the Great in 1488 over a period of 3 months and 3 weeks to commemorate the victory at Battle of Vaslui.

Germany 2017 - Maulbronn Monastery (German: Kloster Maulbronn) is a former Roman Catholic Cistercian Abbey and Protestant seminary located at Maulbronn in the German state of Baden-WĆ¼rttemberg.[2] The 850 year old, mostly Romanesque monastery complex, one of the best preserved examples of its kind in Europe,[3] is one of the very first buildings in Germany to use the Gothic style.[4] In 1993, the abbey was declared a UNESCO World Heritage The complex, surrounded by turreted walls and a tower gate, today houses the Maulbronn
Under the auspices of the abbot Bernard of Clairvaux, the Cistercians began major expansion into southern Germany. A knight named Walter von Lomersheim became very enthused in the spread of this order of monks and donated a stretch of land between to the Cistercian order. So it was that, in 1147, the monastery was founded by 12 monks who traveled from Alsace.[2] The main church, built in a style transitional from Romanesque to Gothic, was consecrated in 1178 by Arnold, Bishop of Speyer. A number of other buildings ā infirmary, refectory, cellar, auditorium, porch, south cloister, hall, another refectory, forge, inn, cooperage, mill, and chapel ā followed in the course of the 13th century. The west, east and north cloisters date back to the 14th century, as do most fortifications and the fountain house or lavatorium.
After the Reformation began in the year 1517, Ulrich, Duke of WĆ¼rttemberg, seized the monastery in 1504,[dubious ā discuss] later building his hunting lodge and stables there. The monastery was pillaged repeatedly: first by the knights under Franz von Sickingen in 1519, then again during the German Peasants' War six years later. In 1534, Duke Ulrich secularised the monastery, but the Cistercians regained control ā and Imperial recognition ā under Charles V's Augsburg Interim. In 1556, Christoph, Duke of WĆ¼rttemberg, built a Protestant seminary, with Valentin Vannius becoming the first abbot two years later, odd, because the Reformation banned religious orders and abbots; Johannes Kepler studied there 1586ā89.
In 1630, the abbey was returned to the Cistercians by force of arms, with Christoph Schaller von Sennheim becoming abbot. This restoration was short-lived, however, as Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden forced the monks to leave again two years later, with a Protestant abbot returning in 1633; the seminary reopened the following year, however the Cistercians under Schaller also returned in 1634. Under the Peace of Westphalia, in 1648, the confession of the monastery was settled in favour of Protestantism; with abbot Buchinger withdrawing in process. A Protestant abbacy was re-established in 1651, with the seminary reopening five years later. In 1692, the seminarians were removed to safety when EzƩchiel du Mas, Comte de MƩlac, torched the school, which remained closed for a decade.
The monastery was secularised by Frederick I, King of WĆ¼rttemberg, in the course of the German Mediatisation in 1807, forever removing its political quasi-independence; the seminary merged with that of Bebenhausen the following year, now known as the Evangelical Seminaries of Maulbronn and Blaubeuren.
The monastery, which features prominently in Hermann Hesse's novel Beneath the Wheel, was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1993. The justification for the inscription was as follows: "The Maulbronn complex is the most complete survival of a Cistercian monastic establishment in Europe, in particular because of the survival of its extensive water-management system of reservoirs and channels". Hesse himself attended the seminary before fleeing in 1891 after a suicide attempt, and a failed attempt to save Hesse from his personal religious crisis by a well-known theologian and faith healer.[6]
To represent Baden-WĆ¼rttemberg, an image of the Abbey appears on the obverse of the German 2013 ā¬2 commemorative coin.
Cool Monastery built into the side of a mountain in Montenegro. It was a grueling hike from the parking lot to reach but well worth it!

The AlcobaƧa Monastery (Portuguese: Mosteiro de Santa Maria de AlcobaƧa) is a Mediaeval Roman Catholic Monastery located in the town of AlcobaƧa, in central Portugal. It was founded by the first Portuguese King, Afonso Henriques, in 1153, and maintained a close association with the Kings of Portugal throughout its history.
The church and monastery were the first Gothic buildings in Portugal, and, together with the Monastery of Santa Cruz in Coimbra, it was one of the most important of the mediaeval monasteries in Portugal. Due to its artistic and historical importance, it was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1989.
History
The AlcobaƧa Monastery is one of the first foundations of the Cistercian Order in Portugal. It was founded in 1153 as a gift to Bernard of Clairvaux, shortly before his death, from the first Portuguese King, Afonso Henriques, to commemorate his victory over the Moors at SantarƩm in March 1147. The foundation of the monastery was part of the strategy by Afonso Henriques to consolidate his authority in the new kingdom and promote the colonisation of areas recently taken from Moorish hands during the Reconquista......

Arankele Monasteryās sylvan environment and ruins of bathing ponds gives the impression it was once a pleasure park. Arankele, on the contrary, was a 6th century cave hermitage up a forested hillside. The densely wooded terrain crowded with huge hardwood trees are interspersed by the openings and clearings created by the on-going process of clearing scattered debris to unearth the ruins and re erecting the fallen ruins.

The monastery is a large complex of buildings of a religious and economic nature. The highlight is the location on the Stolobensky Island of Lake Seliger and the Svetlica peninsula, which extends towards the monastery with a cape. The monastery was founded in honor of St. Nil Stolobensky, whose name it is named after. In 1594, with the permission of Patriarch Job, a monastic monastery was opened.
