Elisabethszell
Elisabethszell is a parish village (''Pfarrdorf'') in the municipality of Haibach in the Lower Bavarian county of Straubing-Bogen in Germany. History In 1346 in the place then known as Atzenzell, which belonged to the parish (''Pfarrei'') of Haselbach, a priory of Benedictine abbey of Oberalteich was established. It existed, with interruptions, until church land in Bavaria was seized in 1803. In 1498 the Benedictines were driven out by the Paulsdorfs at Falkenfels Castle. It was the Countess of Schwarzenberg, who had inherited Elisabethszell from her forebears, who allowed Oberalteich Abbey to buy back the priory estates for a moderate sum in 1621, whereupon the clergy returned to Elisabethszell. Secularisation in Bavaria in 1803 marked the end of the priory at Elisabethszell. In 1805, Elisabethszell, hitherto part of the parish of Haselbach, became an independent parish. The priory was given by the state to the municipality of Elisabethszell for the establishment of a s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
