Completion
1993
The roofs of the nave of the church, the atrium, the battlements and the finials of the walls have been covered with copper sheets. A staircase has been built on top of the remains of a former stair; a footbridge has been placed over the atrium excavations at the entrance to the nave of the church; reception services have been installed and the old refectory has been adapted for a small museum. A meeting centre and a small residence have been built in the abbot's house to host activities that enhance the visit and use of the complex. Our first visit to the monastery coincided with a day when the clouds were flying low and crossing the bell tower through the windows. Perhaps it was that enigmatic and phantasmagorical vision that we wished to preserve.
