Corvey

Japanese: コルバイ(英語表記)Corvey
Corvey
A town adjacent to Höxter in North Rhine-Westphalia, northern Germany. It is located about 60 km southwest of Hanover. It is the site of a former Benedictine monastery founded in 823 by Louis the Pious for the purpose of evangelizing Saxony. The monastery was called Corbeia Nova because it was run by monks from Corbie in northern France. The three-nave church consecrated in 844 was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War and replaced with a Baroque church, but the west wing (Westwerk), which was added between 873 and 885, largely retains its original Carolingian form and is an important relic in art history.
