a fascinating place

built in the beginning of 12th century it grew in the next few hundred years to a rich and influential abbey. But Reformation in Germany ( 16 cent.) changed a lot and the monastery couldn't survive that time, it was destroyed, burned out and stays as a ruin for long time. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klosterruine_Paulinzella
The space has an odd atmosphere of abandonment and even if you have the feeling nearly nothing remained from the primery power, it's a spellbinding place wich didn't lose its clear aesthetic and impressing beauty
