Germany Corvey Benedictine Klosterkirche 822 - 44
It was founded in 820 by Charlemagne's cousins Wala and Adelard with monks from Corbie Abbey in Picardy, under the patronage of Emperor Louis the Pious and the abbot of the parent foundation, whence the new one derived its name. It became "one of the most privileged Carolingian monastic sanctuaries in ninth-century Saxony"
