We went to Beaumesnil again on a grey day. I am writing an article about Beaumesnil and the castle for German Wikipedia and needed more photos.
The article about our last visit there is here: Castle Beaumesnil, the Norman Versailles.
This time the church Saint Nicolas in Beaumesnil was open, so we went in. It was built at the beginning of the 19th century.

The motte-and-bailey is a medieval castle. Jacques de Nonant, who built today’s castle, kept the motte. Boxwood grows on it and it was used as a refrigerator and wine cellar. There is a path on it that leads in spirals to the top.

Danke für den tollen Link zur Bibel! Sprachlich zwar von keinem Nutzen, da ich kein Französisch kann, aber die Bilder allein sind es schon wert angeschaut zu werden.
Merci beaucoup! (-soviel kann ich noch, hehehe…)

Tststs und das als Schweizerin ;). Steht ja eh nichts drin, der Text am Bild bezeichnet nur welche Bibelstelle dargestellt ist. 🙂 Diese Bibel war vielleicht für Analphabeten gedacht?
