As Matt Alderman and I have mentioned the noble beauty and simplicity of mediaeval Cistercian architecture quite a bit of recent, I thought it might be apt to show this Abbey church.
The stonework is particularly beautiful. Also worth noting is the beautiful ironwork within the sanctuary -- which is unfortunately not terribly visible within any of these photos. However, for those of you who would like to see more of the Abbey church, here is an excellent virtual tour.
