This former monastery had been on my list for a long time. On a drizzly day, I finally photographed the neo-Gothic church and the other rooms.
There were signs of clearing out. Whether that meant conversion work was about to begin was unclear. In complexes like this, a long time may pass between emptying a room and the actual start of a new use.
The church has tall pointed arches and clearly defined lines in the brickwork. In the attic photograph, the building instead becomes a structure of timber, steel and open space. Both belong to the same complex. A series need not consist only of the most beautiful place of worship; the structure above it also shows something of what was needed to build it.
Beste meneer,
Ik had een vraag ik ben vandaag met vriendin afgereisd naar het klooster, helaas kwamen wij niet binnen was nergens een ingang alles was afgezet met ijzeren platen voor de deuren was dat bij u ook al? En hoe was u binnengekomen. Wou er heel graag eens binnenkijken baalden er wel van.
Groetjes mickey
