Cistercian Abbey Kostanjevica na Krki
Lower Sava
The Cistercian Abbey of Kostanjevica na Krki, established in the early 13th century by Duke Bernhard von Spanheim, is a significant historic monastery located on an island in the Krka River in Slovenia. Originally a filial of Viktring Abbey, it was expanded in Baroque style during the early 18th century but was disbanded in 1785 by Emperor Joseph II. The abbey church, built in the Early Gothic style in 1234, remains a dominant architectural feature. The former monastic complex was severely damaged during World War II but has since been renovated to house the Božidar Jakac Gallery, a museum of modern and contemporary art with permanent exhibitions and a sculpture park. The site combines rich medieval heritage with vibrant cultural life, making it a unique destination blending history, architecture, and art.
