very curious. The more I stare at this, the less I can put the pieces together.

[LManning (Laura)]

Very stark, yet also moving.

@allie912 @seattlite @louannwarren @francoise @francoise @ljmanning @jgpittenger @summerfield @cashep19 @ludwigsdiana thanks a lot. The questions raised by this place are more than the answers that historians may supply. Including why on earth a cathedral was built in the middle of pastures, with no village or house in sight for kilometers.

@domenicododaro - must have something to do with penance? 😉

[Krista Marson]

History is the best rabbit hole to fall into

[Domenico Dodaro]

@summerfield maybe, but also for the priests... @blueberry1222 I couldn’t agree more!

[Peter Dulis]

interesting building

Nice to live in a place full of histories. Our one will only go back 200 + years.
