Gothic choir in ruins - HBM

The decline of the abbey was due to crises: wars, revolution, food shortages. The cloister and the bell tower have disappeared, and the 20th century was devoted to safeguarding what remains. More information under this picture.

CHOEUR GOTHIQUE EN RUINE. Le déclin de l’abbaye viendra des crises : les guerres, la Révolution, les disettes. Le cloître et le clocher ont disparu, le 20e siècle s’est attaché à sauvegarder ce qu’il en reste. Plus d'information sous cette photo.

Still quite a large and active building beyond. It must have been a very large site in the past Christa. HBM and best wishes for the new week.

Eine tolle Perspektive Christa, die die gewaltige Größe dieser Ruine sehr gut zur Geltung bringt! Leider hat man in früheren Zeiten die alten Bauten als willkommene Steinbrüche benutzt.
