O atrakcjach
Szybkie fakty: Ponad 1000 róż wspina się po kolumnach krużganka w ogrodzie różanym klasztoru, zasadzonych przez mnichów wieki temu. Jedna kolumna krużganka zajmowała trzem kamieniarzom 18 miesięcy, aby wyrzeźbić na niej sceny biblijne i fantastyczne stworzenia.
Najważniejsze atrakcje: Wyrzeźbiony w centralnej kolumnie krużganka znajduje się maleńki XII-wieczny autoportret mistrza kamieniarza, który go zbudował, w komplecie z jego narzędziami pomiarowymi i uśmiechem. Szukaj jego zniszczonej przez czas twarzy na wysokości kolan w północno-zachodnim narożniku, 900-letniego podpisu ukrytego na widoku.
Wskazówki od insiderów
- 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.
