MINORITSKI SAMOSTAN OLIMJE

Описание: MINORITSKI SAMOSTAN OLIMJE
Majhna vasica Olimje leži v zavetju gore Rudnice, v območju Kozjanskega parka. Veličino ji daje prelep dvorec, nekdaj last grofov Attems sedaj občine Podčetrtek, ki je danes spremenjen v prepoznaven samostan, kjer prebivajo manjši bratje sv. Frančiška - minoriti. Ob njem stoji veličastna cerkev Marijinega Vnebovzetja, ena najlepših baročnih umetnin v naši domovini. V zavetju samostana se v pritličju južnega stolpa skriva neprecenljiva umetnina, stara samostanska lekarna s freskami, zapuščina patrov pavlincev, ki so 120 let bivali v olimskem samostanu (1663-1783).

OLIMJE MONASTERY
In the foothills of Mount Rudnica, in the small village of Olimje lies the famous Olimje Friars Minor Conventual Monastery. This former splendid castle, once owned by the Counts of Attems is now a monastery, home to Franciscan Friars Minor Conventual. You will also visit the magnificent Church of the Assumption, one of our country’s most beautiful baroque buildings, adjacent to the monastery. Hidden in the monastery is a priceless work of art – the old monastic pharmacy adorned by frescoes, legacy of the Pauline monks who lived in the Olimje monastery for 120 years (1663-1783).
