    That looks like it is new! They have done a great job of keeping it up.

    An impressive sight. I hope the inside is as well preserved. What artisans worked in these medieval days. Amazing.

    There wasn't a lot to see inside to be honest. A lot of stone carvings and the like which had been rescued during the restoration. Restoration seemed to be ongoing, they were working on the abbey whilst we were there.

    I used to dream of living in a castle just like that when I was little. Not sure about the carving though in the 5th piccie as I think it detracts from the impressive architecture somewhat.

    Phenomenal castle! :D I'd love to wander around and gawk at all the pretty stone work. I'm more hungry.
