The Mysterious French Medieval Gothic Cârța Monastery, Transylvania #history #medieval #monastery
The Cârța Monastery, located in the Țara Făgărașului region of southern Transylvania, Romania, has a rich history. Here are the key points:
It was founded by Cistercian monks from Igriș Abbey, Burgandy (a daughter house of Pontigny Abbey) around 1202-1206.
Although Idris no longer exists, Pontigny has many striking structural similarities to Cârța.
The exact founding date of the Cârța Monastery, a source of intrigue and allure, remains a mystery. A document dated 17 April 1418, issued by Sigismund, King of Hungary, vaguely states that the monastery was founded, built, and awarded rights and privileges by his predecessors. Cistercian documents from the 13th to 15th century mention the monastery's founding somewhere around 1202-1203.
The Cârța Monastery, a beacon of cultural significance, played a pivotal role in introducing and developing French Gothic art in the region, a testament to its enduring influence. In fact, the ruins are the most easterly example of Gothic medieval architecture in Europe.
Originally constructed of wood, the Cârța Monastery underwent a significant architectural evolution, transitioning to stone constructions with a small chapel and massive walls, a testament to its enduring presence and adaptability.
The fortified Evangelical-Lutheran church in Hălmeag, Transylvania, was built in the second half of the 11th century. It illustrates the transition phase from Romanesque to Gothic under the Cârța Cistercian monk's influence there. It is the second oldest church in Transylvania and after that of Cârța.
After the Mongolian invasion in 1241, a new architect gave the monastery mature Gothic forms.
An edict in 1494 disbanded it, and part of the ruins later became an Evangelical Lutheran church belonging to the local Saxon community. Here is how it looks inside today, and the French influence inside reflects that of Pontigny Abbey.
Part of the ruins were given over to a cemetery for soldiers who died in the First World War, and the local Saxon community keep the graves and surroundings well maintained.
Cârța Monastery is also known for its mysterious atmosphere. Local legends say the place is haunted by monks who lived here in the Middle Ages. It is said that the chairs move, the walls vibrate, and priests who have served here have observed paranormal phenomena.

    Sorry to keep posting, but I'm helping your viewers in adding information, The pink shop in chediston street used to be Hurrens Butchers shop, Down Chediston street there were no fewer than 5, YES 5 pubs back in the 1800s. Rectory Lane, locally, is known as 'Ducks Lane' also did you know the 'crinkly-crankly' wall as it's known in Suffolk actually use LESS bricks than a conventional straight wall! The river is the River Hundred. If you had kept walking the footpath would have brought you back into Chediston street, this is Fen Farm. Sorry for so many posts but I hope this filled in a few gaps! As you can see by my user name I'm a Halesworth person!

    Blackdog Antiques was also the Halesworth Brewery, in the lefthand corner next to it was the entrance to the old GP surgery, The big house as you walked into the Market place used to be Nolly's pet shop, He had a Minor bird 'Simon' who would talk in cage, open to the market place in the window!

    The cottages were named in memory of a Town Policeman. (Copied from Wikipedia) In 1862 the only murder of modern times was recorded. Ebenezer Tye (died 25 November 1862, aged 24) was a policeman who was trying to stop a burglary in Chediston Street. However he was beaten to death and is now buried in Halesworth Cemetery. The murderer, John Ducker, was caught and was the last person to be publicly hanged in Suffolk.

    The Almshouses also housed the library downstairs (until the new one was built) and the art gallery upstairs. There are no railings, because they were taken down, and melted down for the war effort (2nd World war) if you look at the wall you can see the holes were filled in.

    The bookshop used to be the Kings Arms Hotel, and the little 'house' in the yard was the Kings Arms Tap, The Angel also had a 'Tap' as well, Halesworth had no fewer than 30 Public houses in and around the 18 century. Joseph Hooker was born in the town, he was a Director at Kew Gardens in London. George Lansbury was also born in the town he was the leader of the Labour party between 1932 and 1935, he was the grandfather to the Actress Angela Lansbury.

    And as always, western perverted BS truth about Stalin that never happened. First of... Stalin never rode that horse, because he sustained injury to his hip from assassination attempt, which happened before WW II started. When Stalin told Zhukov about Victory Parade, Zhukov insisted that Stalin would ride that stallion, but Stalin replied: "Riding a horse is a task for a young men or a cavalry man, I am neither". Zhukov on the other hand was experienced cavalry man. White horses which were used on that parade, did not belong to Zhukov, nor Stalin. They were property of soviet state and were used during high priority ceremonies such as military parades and greeting of a foreign state leaders! General Rokossovskiy, who was parade's commanding officer, also rode almost identical to Zhukov's, white horse.

    My dad was an RCAF Flying Officer, and having trained very early was soon sent to the UK and seconded to the RAF. He spent all but the last 2 months of the war in RAF night fighter squadrons, mainly on Beaufighters and then Mosquitos. His brother, 3 years younger, joined the RCAF as soon as allowed, and was trained on multi-engine planes, finishing as an RCAF Pilot Officer. He too was sent to the UK, and flew 20 bombing trips on RAF Wellingtons. He was then transferred to an RAF Halifax squadron. According to my Dad, his younger brother said the Halifax was a "bloody awful excuse for an aircraft" - and he was a very mechanically minded young man, while my dad was not. He also was not happy with the servicing and repair of the squadron aircraft, which from various letters and log notes sounds like it was not up to the high standard of the Wellington squadron, or of the Lancaster squadrons "next door." There must have been some pretty sketchy maintenance work; he was not given to complaining. He completed 16 trips flying the Halifax over Germany. On his 17th trip, his aircraft was shot down by Luftwaffe night fighters near Nuremburg, Aug 9 - 10, 1943. The crew were all killed in the crash. He was just 2 weeks short of his 21st birthday. He and his crew were buried near Nuremburg, but after the war their graves, along with several others, were moved to a single Commonwealth War Graves site about 60 miles from Munich. My dad survived the war, all of it in night-fighters. More than once his aircraft was damaged while landing in very bad weather. Unusually, he and his Navigator/AI operator managed to remain paired as a crew until the final 2 months of the war. He flew well over 1200 hours on operations (one of four logbooks is missing) - but he was rated as an "Exceptional" pilot by his C/O's, as well as being very skilled as a Night Fighter. His Navigator, an AI expert, described some astonishing incidents to me. Neither man was ever wounded by enemy fire. He de-mobilized in 1947, in Canada, and died in his sleep, age 71; his Navigator lived to the ripe age of 106, not far south of Lincoln. They remained good friends for the rest of their lives, and traveled on long holidays several times. A kinder end than too many of these brave young men.

    A Few Lucky Generals, That Avoided Stalin's Infamous Purges In The 1930's, Were Trained In The Czar's Cavalry Before W.W.I . One Of The Things Stalin Said When Planning The Parade Was To Ask Zhukov If He Could Still Ride A Horse (He Could, Despite Being Surrounded By Modern Warfare.) And Thus Received The Honor.
