Teave
Kiired faktid: Üle 1000 roosi ronivad kloostri roosiaias mööda kloostrikäigu sambaid, mille mungad istutasid sajandeid tagasi. Ühe kloostrikäigu samba nikerdamine piiblistseenide ja fantastiliste olenditega võttis kolmelt kiviraidurilt 18 kuud.
Esiletõstmised: Keskmisele kloostrikäigu sambale on raiutud pisike 12. sajandi eneseportree meistrist kiviraidurist, kes selle ehitas, koos tema mõõteriistade ja irvega. Otsi tema ilmastiku poolt kulunud nägu põlve kõrguselt loodenurgast, 900 aastat vana allkiri peidus silme ees.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Keep your eyes on the column capitals at the cloister's northeast corner, where a tiny mouse carved into the stone hides among the biblical figures.
- Visit the small museum upstairs for a close-up view of the original 14th-century altarpiece fragments, which the ground-floor replicas cannot match.
- Wear quiet shoes: the wooden choir stalls in the church are still used by resident monks during midday prayer at 1pm, and visitors are welcome to observe silently.
- Skip the audio guide and pick up the free paper map instead; the numbered labels around the cloister make self-guided exploration more natural.
