EDITORS COMMENTS
"This stunning image captures the grandeur of the Main Entrance of Ettal Monastery, located in Upper Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 1330, this Benedictine monastery underwent its first phase of construction between 1330 and 1370, with subsequent additions taking place during the 18th and 19th centuries. The monastery's Romanesque and Baroque architecture is a testament to the rich history of Catholicism in Germany. The entrance is marked by a magnificent portal, adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. Atop the entrance stands a dome, its golden spire reaching towards the heavens. The 18th and 19th century additions are evident in the ornate details of the dome, which features intricate frescoes and statues. Ettal Monastery's history is deeply rooted in the religious traditions of the region. As a Benedictine monastery, it follows the Rule of St. Benedict, which emphasizes community, prayer, and work. Over the centuries, the monastery has served as a place of worship, education, and refuge for the people of Upper Bavaria. The monastery's architecture is a reflection of the region's cultural and religious heritage. The use of Romanesque and Baroque styles reflects the influence of the Catholic Church on the region's artistic and architectural traditions. The monastery's enduring beauty continues to draw visitors from around the world, making it a must-see destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of Germany and European Catholicism." This photo print, taken by Hubertus Kanus in 2010, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of Ettal Monastery. It is a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the importance of preserving the past for future generations.
