An impression of the Poe-esque ruins of Villers-la-Ville abbey in Belgium.
Founded in 1146 CE as a daughter institution of the abbey of Clairvaux, it became one of the most important Cistercian abbeys of Europe. This was either the warm room or a passage to it. The warm room was the only room in the abbey (apart from the kitchen) that had any type of heat source. The monks being of the type that thought that making life miserable for yourself made god like you more than other people. The power of the abbey ended after the abolision of all Belgianmonestaries by Napoleon, finally ending the grip the church had over the land. The abbey was abandoned, plundered and left as a ruin before the remains of the complex were discovered by the romantics of the interbellum. Other photographs of this ruin can be seen here: [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] |

 reports, 1d 23h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.68 Inspirational Photography Desember*Sortvind
