Corvey Museum Palace by DONJEHOSAM(m): 4:37pm On May 06, 2017
The Corvey Museum palace that is located in Hoxter North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany is founded by Emperor Louis the Pious in 815-822. It origin started back in the days when the Saxon War was fought and won by Charlemagne or Charles I or Charles the Great, King of the Franks, however, a plan was made to set-up an Abbey but this plan was only executed during the reign of his son Louis the Pious.

The first Monks were welcome in 816 which were from the Benedictine Abbey of Corbie Abbey in Picardy, France that was dedicated to Saint Peter. The issue of the location made the Monks move in officially in 822 to a location called Villa Huxori this place was then called Nova Corbeia a Latin word meaning “New Corbie” in old German but it is pronounced “Corvey” so this was how the name came about.

Corvey grew rapidly as a result of the gift and donation that was made by individuals, an Abbey school was founded in 823 and the library was also established. Corvey produced the highest number of scholars then. Though the 30 years’ war devastated the Abbey, in 1665 Christoph Bernhard Von Galen became the administrator and reconstructed the Abbey. In 1792 Pope Pius VI raised the Corvey in a Prince-bishopric manner and it was not seen as Benedictine Abbey anymore.
