EDITORS COMMENTS
St Germans Abbey, located in the picturesque town of St Germans in Cornwall, England, is a stunning example of medieval architecture that tells a rich historical tale. Originally founded as a Benedictine monastery in the 10th century, St Germans Abbey served as the seat of a Bishop until the year 1050. The abbey's construction reflects the Norman and Early English styles, showcasing the architectural evolution of the time. The abbey's history is deeply rooted in the religious and cultural heritage of England. The Benedictine monks who established the monastery sought to spread the teachings of St. Benedict and provide a place of worship and refuge for the local community. Over the centuries, the abbey underwent various changes, with additions and alterations reflecting the shifting architectural trends of the time. The Norman influence is evident in the abbey's massive stone arches, intricate carvings, and the use of the Romanesque style. The Early English period is represented by the pointed arches, ribbed vaulting, and the use of the Gothic style. The harmonious blend of these architectural elements creates a breathtaking sight that transports visitors back in time. St Germans Abbey is a testament to the enduring legacy of the past. Its walls hold stories of the monks who once lived and worshipped there, the bishops who ruled from its halls, and the local community that sought solace and spiritual guidance within its walls. A visit to St Germans Abbey is an opportunity to connect with the past and appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of medieval architecture.
