Parts of the old cloister were badly damaged. Windows were missing, rain had poured in, we could see through collapsed ceilings from one floor to another, and even the historic walls had makeshift additions attached to them. The amazing thing, however, was that even in this pitiful state, the soul of the abbey had remained intact. This testifies to an impressive structural integrity that can be traced back to the original vision of the monks. They had built the abbey knowing that it would outlast them for a long time. Thinking about the legacy they would leave for future generations, they chose a building plan that was built to last. Despite centuries of neglect, the structure was still intact, as was the spirit of the abbey.https://www.serraarchitekten.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/abadia.jpg
