    I was going to say I have never seen such iconography in a Roman Catholic convent. Private estate, subsidence of the soil, all makes more sense to me. It has elements or sections that are quite beautiful. Because of either the age, fragility or unstable ground, or all three, it would require millions to restore, and the question is, is it worth it? I think that some of it may be, not all of it.

    Are you sure its built in the 19th century? The walls, pillars and art style looks ancient Roman.

    • @cafenoirwalk
      @cafenoirwalk  2 роки тому

      I'm sure. This was a style in vogue in the 19th century and the building is not that old. The true ruins of the Roman Empire in my region are a quiet different.

  • @mathiassca

    Though it has a tiny private chaple and cloister, It is clearly not a convent. Looks like an Estates abondoned Folly of the late 19th century, The wierd mixure of gothic and Pompaiin arcitecture would not usually be done in a convent, convent orders were often large, so chaple is more family sized, Also Nun's usually have bed cubicles. This structure has, a garden cloister, tiny chaple, a outer room latter used for table tenis. A internal roman covered court yard which most likely had tropical plants like an Orangery, off of that might have been a summer dinning room. The outer building that you earlier went into with the cave like walls was a Grotto, with ruined architecture elements like in follies. Above is I believe a duel perpose building of a garden Teahouse in the Gothic Style, with a floor systern that most likely was used to store water for the grotto bellow and posibly playful fountains that were meant to amuse in the summer heat in a garden folly!!! I'm guessing either on a part of an old estate that this area isn't used because of sbsidance damage, clearly the cloister was worth resupporting, to keep from calasps!!

    So, what was eerie about this convent? The chapel is gorgeous. When a church, convent, monastery are abandoned, do they 'de-commission them', or does it stay holy to God despite the evil of this world walking in? Is the saint relic in each removed or does it remain?

    This is when people believe in something more than themselves, and people back then had something, people today do not have which is faith.
    The Church could have used this place other than a nunnery or still kept the place as a religious community and not secular.
    The building could have been used for only a women's retreat center.

      Some are Catholic, but most are Roman I think. If they are reproductions then no great loss (even 18th or 19th-century reproductions) ...but if they are originals then it is criminal to leave them to be plundered &/or vandalized. The chapel is an exquisite gym as are all the pillars around the courtyard. The French government should encourage out-of-work artists & artisans to restore it for food & lodging and at least a stipend. It's too beautiful to let go!!

    • @kindlydude
      @kindlydude Рік тому

      p.s. "Cave Canem" is Latin for ..."Beware of the Dog".
      Therefore, I am tempted to believe that this round mosaic of a dog is an actual ancient Roman relic. Perhaps this whole courtyard and chapel was an 'idyl' on a larger older estate whose wealthy owners recreated a kind of hodge-podge of ancient relics? Perhaps the stained glass windows are original to some other more ancient chapel that was being dismantled or was in a state of disrepair that the owners then saved & collected and then re-created into a new chapel? The whole thing seems like someone's vision for an idyllic retreat for reflection and meditation, with elements of different periods of European civilization represented.

    I don't believe this is a religious structure. Perhaps there was a monastery or convent on the site once long ago, but this looks like someone's private fantasy building. A Christian religious house would not have pagan Roman and Egyptian decorations, and would be far more practical in structure and materials. It looks like a nineteen-thirties film set, or a 60s hippy fantasy place where an eccentric person could put his collection of classical souvenirs and have parties.
