Lorsch Abbey - Kloster Lorsch

Japanese: ロルシュ修道院 - ロルシュしゅうどういん(英語表記)Kloster Lorsch
Lorsch Abbey - Kloster Lorsch
A medieval royal monastery remains in the town of Lorsch in the southern part of Hesse, Germany. It is said that in 764, the lord, Count Cancor of Upper Rheingau, and his mother built a private monastery and entrusted it to Archbishop Chlodegang of Metz. The monastery began to attract pilgrims when Chlodegang received the remains of the martyr St. Nazarius from the Pope. In the second half of the 9th century, East Frankish King Louis II built a royal tomb on the east side of the cathedral, and his son Louis III built a crypt called the "Painted Cathedral" for its gorgeous murals and decorations. At that time, the monastery also had 600 manuscripts, including the "Lorsch Gospels." The particularly famous tower gate, also known as the "King's Gate," is unique in that the exterior wall on the front is decorated with decorative stonework in geometric patterns, making it a valuable relic of Carolingian architecture. It was registered as a cultural heritage of the World Heritage Sites in 1991.

ドイツ,ヘッセン州南部の町ロルシュに残る中世の王立修道院。 764年,領主オーバーラインガウ伯カンコールとその母が私的修道院を建ててメスの大司教クロデガングに託したのが始まりとされる。クロデガングが教皇から殉教者聖ナザリウスの遺骨を譲り受けたのを機に巡礼者をひきつけるようになった。9世紀後半,東フランク王のルートウィヒ2世が聖堂東側に王家の墓廟を,その息子ルートウィヒ3世が華麗な壁画と装飾から「彩りの聖堂」と呼ばれる地下祭室をつくった。またその頃,『ロルシュの福音集』をはじめとする 600冊もの写本を有していた。とりわけ有名な楼門は「王の門」とも呼ばれ,正面の外壁に幾何学模様の装飾石積みが施された独特なもので,カロリング朝建築の貴重な遺構となっている。 1991年世界遺産の文化遺産に登録。
