Courtyard to entrance hall
We could not take pictures inside the buildings but there were many artistic treasures and beautifully painted ceilings.
We could take picture of the outside of the church.
The inside of the church was very ornate and we had the luck to be there when a mass was being conducted. Equally impressive was the library which contained 100,000 volumes, of which 16,000 were on display.
The church is home to 30 monks and our tour guide assured us the 400 rooms of the Abbey are in use today. It is also used as a school.
