I really enjoyed my visit, the guide told us lots of interesting information about the chapel.

Certainly worth a visit – a very impressive building with wonderful ceiling and doors

Each subsequent Bishop added his own touches and additions to the already existing banqueting hall. There a details in the stained glass windows and some of the dark wood features within the chapel.

I wish there was a guidebook so I could share the details accurately.

Of course a private chapel can be kept in whatever design the owner prefers, and in this case the pale wall colour and the stained glass windows look perfect.

But the doors and the rood screen are extremely dark, especially in a part of Europe that doesn’t have enough natural light for half the year.
