1209 to 1347 The abbey becomes a records officeZ opátstva sa stáva úrad

In 1209 Pope Innocent III confirmed the abbey's estates, and in the centuries that followed the house took on a job that sounds dull and mattered enormously: it became a place of authentication, a hodnoverné miesto — a monastery trusted to write, seal and store legal documents for a whole district. In a kingdom with no public notaries, that made the abbey the place where land was bought, wills were made and quarrels were settled on paper. The settlement below the walls grew on that traffic and received town privileges in 1347. If you want to know who owned what in this valley in the fourteenth century, the answer was kept in this building.V roku 1209 potvrdil pápež Inocent III. majetky opátstva a v ďalších storočiach začal kláštor robiť niečo, čo znie nudne a znamenalo nesmierne veľa: stal sa hodnoverným miestom — kláštorom, ktorému sa dôverovalo, že pre celý kraj spíše, spečatí a uschová právne listiny. V kráľovstve bez verejných notárov to znamenalo, že sa práve tu kupovala pôda, spisovali závety a na papieri urovnávali spory. Osada pod hradbami rástla z tohto ruchu a v roku 1347 dostala mestské výsady. Ak chcete vedieť, komu v štrnástom storočí v tejto doline čo patrilo, odpoveď sa uschovávala v tejto budove.
