1 review of Sweetheart Abbey

Interesting history of love

Excellent

Never an abbey in the world could have a foundation based on love between a woman and her husband, that the name of this institution Cistercian, in the village of New Abbey in the Scottish Borders today in ruins. Some ruins with a special history. In the year 1268, Lord John Balliol died. His widow, Lady Devorgilla Galloway, sent an embalm of his heart and put it in a chest, having it close to her and from that moment on behalf of her husband offered shelter and food to the poor. In 1273, this lady financed the foundation of this abbey honor the couple is named and land nearby where they both lived happily.

At his death, in the year 1289 his body was buried next to her husband's heart. The abbey was in operation until the year 1560 when it suffered damage due to wars in the zone. It is in ruins today, and it is the main point of interest in the village, and almost the whole zone ... Many people are attracted by the interesting history of Scottish medieval abbey.
