Tintern Abbey

Japanese: ティンターン・アベー(英語表記)Tintern Abbey
Tintern Abbey
The ruins of a monastery in England. It was founded in 1131 as a Cistercian monastery on the banks of the River Wye in Gwent (formerly Monmouthshire) in Wales. It was expanded over the next two centuries, reaching its peak in the early 14th century, but its influence gradually declined after the outbreak of the Black Death in 1349. Between 1536 and 1540, as part of King Henry VIII's Reformation, all monasteries in the country were abolished and their property confiscated. This was known as the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

イギリスにある修道院の廃墟。1131年シトー会の修道院としてウェールズ地方グウェント州(旧,モンマスシャー)のワイ河岸に建立された。以後約2世紀の間に増築を重ね,14世紀初頭に最盛期を迎えるが,1349年のペスト(黒死病)流行を境に徐々に勢力が衰えはじめる。1536年から40年の間にヘンリー8世の宗教改革の一環として国内にあるすべての修道院が廃止され,その財産が没収された。いわゆる〈修道院の解散〉である。
