EDITORS COMMENTS
Fountains Abbey, located in the picturesque town of Ripon in North Yorkshire, England, is a stunning example of Cistercian monastic ruins. This breathtaking view from the east showcases the abbey's impressive architecture, including the intricately designed arches and the towering lantern cloister. The ruins are surrounded by lush greenery and reflectively calm waters of the nearby lake, creating a serene and otherworldly atmosphere. Built in the 12th century, Fountains Abbey was once home to a thriving community of monks who followed the Cistercian order. The abbey's grandeur and influence grew over the centuries, attracting numerous pilgrims and visitors. However, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, the abbey was dissolved, and many of its treasures were taken or destroyed. Despite its rich history and significance, Fountains Abbey remains a popular tourist destination and a source of inspiration for artists and photographers. This photograph, taken circa 1900, is part of the Box 2 Boswell Collection Series of Castles and Abbeys. The series showcases the beauty and grandeur of historical sites, providing a glimpse into the past and preserving their legacy for future generations.
