Description

build in the late gothic style in the 15th century, Mariaberg is the most impressing monastry from this time in Switzerland. Founded as a refuge by abbot Ulrich Rösch, a Benedictine from the much older monastry from St. Gallen in 1481. Its situated above Rorschach on the lake of constance and used today as a teacher training college. Thanks for taking a peek and have a good start into the week.

THe history in a glance my Beautiful. I adore this kind of structure. They are strengthened and their sajesses do not test them too much through the old ones. Cheer still my Beautiful and mile mercies ((5++)) L'histoire en un regard ma Belle . J'adore ce genre d'architecture . Elles sont fortifiées et leurs sajesses ne les éprouvent pas trop à travers les ages . Bravo encore ma Belle et mile mercis ((5++))

Very, very nice, Ulla. I like the light in the room on the first floor...gives it the lived in look. And the short history fills out the picture for us. Bill

What a stunning composition! This image is so...clean. White with different nuances of green and yellow - and those red windows in ther middle. Very elegant. Nice framing too, with the drop shadow. This work is nothing of the casual kind!
