758 HU - Millenary Benedictine Abbey of Pannonhalma and its Natural Environment (1996)

Brief Description

"The first Benedictine monks settled here in 996. They went on to convert the Hungarians, to found the country's first school and, in 1055, to write the first document in Hungarian. From the time of its founding, this monastic community has promoted culture throughout central Europe. Its 1,000-year history can be seen in the succession of architectural styles of the monastic buildings (the oldest dating from 1224), which still today house a school and the monastic community."

潘诺恩哈尔姆千年修道院及其自然环境

"这里的第一座修道院建于996年,为了教化匈牙利人,又建立了第一所国家学校,且在1055年,撰写了第一份匈牙利文档 案。自创建之日起,这个修士团体便促进了中欧文化的发展。它1000年的历史可以从修道院建筑风格的连续性看出来(最后的建筑于1224年完成),今天它 仍然是学校和修士团体的屋宇。"
