This photo was taken at Corvey Abbey, one of the buildings on the world heritage list.
The monastery is located in Germany near the beautiful town of Höxter.
A simple corner by a staircase, where the light falls on the plasterwork through the thick walled window. Minimalist architectural photography, if you want to give it a name. In passing, it is not immediately noticeable, but on a somewhat closer look, it becomes clear that it was not built with a ruler and compass - no straight line is actually straight, no curve is really round.
For me it was a detail that had to be photographed.
The monastery was founded in 815 under the Latin name Corbeia nova and rebuilt in 822 at the end of the Westphalian slope near the river Weser. The abbey buildings were put into use in 823. The abbot established agricultural colonies there and it was farmers from the Oudenaarde area (East Flanders) who helped the monks to clear the land.
During the 9th and 10th centuries this was one of the most significant cultural centers in Northern Europe.

Hello, nice to see you! Photography shows the beauty of the world around us. As a photographer, you see the world with different eyes, where everything can be a source of inspiration. That's why I choose a diversity of subjects. In doing so, I portray them in a variety of styles, because each subject deserves its own approach to express the final image as beautifully as possible, in the right atmosphere. This results in unique works that are made with great care. So take your time to look around my shop - there is so much to find. I hope you find something you like!
Best regards,
B.H.
