    the altar left me speechless. the way the colored glass and the paintings look so untouched after so long is unbelievable.

      Imagine being a medieval knight on pilgrimage offering up prayers there in the 14th century. The chapel has an ageless feel to it.

    10:04 that is correct. Upper is in French, lower is in (old spelling) Dutch. I'd guess because they treated Belgian soldiers there (Belgium is bi-lingual French and Flamish (which is basically Dutch).

    @QuintusAntonious 10 годин тому +1

    I practically guarantee that chapel has been restored recently for some reason. The lack of graffiti, the cleanliness of the floor, and the lack of any staining on the stone or plaster are giveaways. Even if, somehow, taggers were respectful enough for 24 years to never touch it, you'd still have other natural issues like moisture infiltration that would leave stains on the masonry. It's just too pristine to have been left abandoned for nearly a quarter century.

    Every single piece. The irony is that when this was being built it was just the way it was done at the time. No big deal really.
