546 DE - Maulbronn Monastery Complex (1993)

Brief Description

"Founded in 1147, the Cistercian Maulbronn Monastery is considered the most complete and best-preserved medieval monastic complex north of the Alps. Surrounded by fortified walls, the main buildings were constructed between the 12th and 16th centuries. The monastery's church, mainly in Transitional Gothic style, had a major influence in the spread of Gothic architecture over much of northern and central Europe. The water-management system at Maulbronn, with its elaborate network of drains, irrigation canals and reservoirs, is of exceptional interest."

"建于1147年的西多会(Cistercian)莫尔布龙 修道院,是阿尔卑斯山脉以北地区最完整和保存最好的中世纪修道院。整个修道院周围有防御墙环绕,主建筑建于公元12至14世纪,该修道院教堂是哥特式过渡 时期风格,对于哥特式建筑在北欧和中欧的兴起有着重要影响。莫尔布龙修道院的水资源管理系统非常独特,堪称一绝,包括了复杂的排水网络、灌溉运河和水库。"
