  • Kostanjeviška opatija in pleterska kartuzija ter njuna posest in pravice na Gorjancih in v Žumberku
    Mlinarič, Jože, 1935-
    The two important spiritual and economic centres arose in the shelter of the bountiful Gorjanci forests in the Late Middle Ages: the Kostanjevica Cistercian Abbey, founded by Duke Hermann II of Celje ... in c. 1400. A large part of the estates and annual revenues of both sacral foundations was located around the lower Krka as well as within and beneath Gorjanci and Žumberak. Thus both monasteries were bound to this area over the centuries from a spiritual and economic point of view. This was particularly true of the Kostanjevica Abbey, which held the livings of the parishes of Kostanjevica, Sv. Križ (Podbočje), Sv. Jurij at Čatež, Žumberk and Vivodina. The two monasteries had extensive forest holdings in Gorjanci and Žumberak, which resulted in frequent conflicts between them and the surrounding secular landowners over estate and forest boundaries. They and their landholdings both stood on the boundary between the Holy Roman Empire and the Hungarian-Croatian Kingdom and were also exposed to Turkish raids after 1450. The Kostanjevica Abbey received large estates with its foundation in 1234 or 1249 from Bernard Spanheim. More than a third of its estates lay within Gorjanci and Žumberk. The Pleterje Carthusian Monastery also had extensive holdings below and within Gorjanci and Žumberk. Its holdings were characterised by a large number of uninhabited farms, which were a result of colonisation pressure and the farming of unsuitable areas. Many farms were abandonned during the Turkish raids. Both monasteries held large forest areas, which brought in large revenues. The monks themselves derived great advantages from them, whilst some of these were let to tenants in return for an annual rent: construction timber, fuel, bracken, forest fruits and dormouse hunting. The monasteries also had extensive vineyard complexes. These were worked under their own regimes or let out to their own tenants, tenants of foreign lords or to freemen for rent according to mountain law. The monasteries lost all their land in Žumberk and a large part of their holdings in Gorjanci in the 16th century as a result of the Uskok settlement after 1530. The provincial lord abetted this settlement. The economic power of Kostanjevica Abbey and Pleterje Monastery was greatly weakened, although the Pleterje Monastery strengthened its economic position with the purchase of the Kostanjevica estates in Gorjanci in 1667. The Abbey existed until the reign of Joseph II, who closed it in 1785. The Pleterje Carthusian Monastery passed to the Ljubljana Jesuits as a result of a compact between the Carthusians and Jesuits in 1595. The Jesuits held the estates until the dissolution of the order in 1773. The author has used the archive sources to show the links of the Kostanjevica Abbey and the Pleterje Carthusian Monastery with the area beneath and within Gorjanci and Žumberak
