Abstract(s)
A vila de Lorvão bem como o mosteiro resultam do somatório de várias transformações ao longo dos tempos, desde a origem no século VI até aos nossos dias, passando por períodos de abundância e por períodos de decadência. No princípio do século XIX começou a decadência, com a lei que baniu as ordens religiosas. Veio a pobreza e o mosteiro caiu em ruínas.
Entre 1940 e 1960 o mosteiro foi alvo de restauro e adaptado a hospital psiquiátrico – nesta época é proposta pela Direcção-Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais uma planta com indicação do limite da zona de protecção do monumento, limite que pouco contribuiu para a dignificação da riqueza cultural e histórica do mosteiro.
No contexto da regeneração urbana do centro histórico de Lorvão, será feita uma análise da evolução do mosteiro e os condicionalismos que este impôs ao lugar de Lorvão.
The town of Lorvão and its monastery are the result of a series of transformations through the centuries, since its origins in the 6th century to the present times, across periods of affluence and periods of decay. In the early 19th century, the law that banned religious orders from Portugal started a long period of decay and poverty and the monastery eventually became a ruin. Between 1940 and 1960, the monastery was subject to works of rehabilitation and eventually it was transformed into a psychiatric hospital. At the same time, the General Directorate for National Buildings and Monuments set up a map defining a protected environmental area for the monument. However, this seems to have been overlooked and the town became characterless and unsuitable to its cultural and historical importance. The rehabilitation of the historic center of Lorvão will involve an analysis of the monastery and of the conditions it imposed to the town development.
