The Churches

The size and number of churches here astounds me.

They are massive in size: 2 or 3 stories high of solid stone and 2 levels of stained glass windows.  Even out in the country where I am sure the population was never particularly high, how could they justify such a huge church.  And its not as if its just the occasional one dotted around - just looking out our window I can see 4 church spires.

Today, for my first bike ride, I checked out Kloster Riddaghausen.  It is not only a massive church but has a huge walled garden around it with vegetable plots and fruit trees.
