A very similar age to this building and in even better condition.

Really interesting to see a “naked” bit of architecture from that time. Normally, it’s covered under coatings of plaster and paint and well maintained and as beautiful as that often is, it is different to what the people then saw and could do.
My arch is newer and … well, have a look: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2020/08/23/reverse-arch/

I’m with you, Elke. I am pleased to see that most restoration work these days leaves as is rather than rebuilding with a hint of imagination!
And I like your upside-down approach to the theme.

Beautiful! Amazing craftmanship in those old buildings. They new how to make things last.
Thanks for the mention.

Incredible isn’t it! A lot of the building had caved in (more to terrain than structure I think) and some had been recycled to build the Manse, but the rear of this arched room was in great condition.

And I had wished the gate was open. The abbey was built on a hill and that gate takes you onto terra firma. Approaching from downhill the refectory is first floor and most of the building is missing, so access to get this photo was up a rickety ladder. Not a favourite activity of mine!
