Concert in the Lilienfeld Monastery
HeLilienfeld Monastery is a Cistercian abbey in Lilienfeld, Quit Austria. The convent was founded in 1202 by Leopold VI., Duke of Austria and Styria, as a subsidiary of the Heiligenkreuz Abbey and, therefore, belonged to the affiliation of the primary abbey of Morimond in France.
In 1217, Duke Leopold VI. he gathered many aristocrats from his domains in Lilienfeld to start the Fifth Crusade from here.
After a spiritual crisis in Lilienfeld Abbey in the 16th century, became a regional center of the Counter-Reformation in the 17th century. Of 1641 a 1716, the medieval monastery complex was complemented by early baroque annexes in the guest wing, the west wing with the imperial rooms, the prelature and the library. During the Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683, Lilienfeld Abbey, together with the local population, successfully resisted the looting of the Turks and Tatars who roamed there. In the first half of the eighteenth century , the church tower, the library and the interior of the church were built in the baroque style. During the Enlightenment, Lilienfeld Abbey took on numerous pastoral tasks in many new parishes.
