Pelplin Abbey

Pelplin, Poland

Pelplin Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey founded in 1258 by Sambor II, Duke of Pomerania. It was a daughter house of the Cistercian Doberan Abbey. It was first sited in Pogódki (Pogutken) near Kościerzyna (Berent) and re-located in 1276 to Pelplin. By decree of the Prussian government of 5 March 1823 it was dissolved. Since 1824 the church, as Pelpin Cathedral, has been the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pelplin. Work on the Brick Gothic building (length 80 m, height 26 m) began in 1289. The church was finished in 1323; additional work was completed in 1557.

Piękne miejsce, z bardzo interesującą historią. Miałem szczęście widzieć części wyciętych belek stropowych, wymieniany był wtedy dach. Belka z litego drewna 40x60 cm. Nie wiem z jakiego okresu pochodziła, ale chyba była cenna, bo firma remontowa chętnie pozabierała wszystkie wycięte odcinki.

Warto zobaczyć katedrę w Pelplinie. Myślę, że większość ludzi spodoba się ten duży zabytek. Przepiękna katedra XIII-XIV wieku i zaliczana do najpiękniejszych dzieł gotyckich w Polsce. Kryje w sobie przepiękny Ołtarz Główny. Warto chociaż raz być i zobaczyć! Polecam !

Château des Ducs de Bretagne

The Château des ducs de Bretagne (Castle of the Dukes of Brittany) is a large castle located in Nantes. It served as the centre of the historical province of Brittany until its separation in 1941. It was the residence of the Dukes of Brittany between the 13th and 16th centuries, subsequently becoming the Breton residence of the French Monarchy. Today the castle houses the Nantes History Museum.

The restored edifice now includes the new Nantes History Museum, installed in 32 of the castle rooms. The museum presents more than 850 objects of collection with the aid of multimedia devices. The castle and the museum try to offer a modern vision of the heritage by presenting the past, the present and the future of the city. Night-time illuminations at the castle further reinforce the revival of the site. The 500-metre round walk on the fortified ramparts provides views not just of the castle buildings and courtyards but also of the town.
