St. Florian's

Our next stop was, (thankfully), a much more positive one: we stopped at the monastery of St. Florian’s. The monastery was built on some old Christian burial site. When they were building they dug up the bones and stacked them in the crypts- I am standing in front of the remains of over 6,000 people in that picture. Kind of creepy, kind of cool.
When we walked into the library, I was instantly reminded of the castle library in the Disney “Beauty and the Beast” movie. It was too cool. I really wanted to open up the books and feel all of the old pages. After we walked through the library we walked into none other than the ballroom from “Beauty and the Beast”. Whoever designed the background art for that movie must have been to St. Florian’s- the two are way too much alike.



The rest of the place was sweet too, especially the chapel. The paintings there were so detailed. There was one statue there that I found rather humorous- it was a woman representing chastity, and she was standing on cupid so his face was crushed. It made me laugh.
