I am quite interested. Please keep us posted. I noticed in the linked article that the actual abbey has been taken apart piece by piece and is binge re-erected on a new site. A lot of ordinary construction materials have been lost and new materials have taken their place. For example, steel framing and concrete framing have been inserted to carry loads. One of the hotly-debated questions in my profession is when a building ceases to be a reassembly of original pieces to recreate the original structure and when it becomes a new structures using some old pieces with an end result that, although visibly identical to the original, is not the actual structure.
There is a Cistercian abbey near my home town which is called New Melleray (the original Melleray is in Ireland). Here is a link to their home page - New Melleray Abbey
Okay, it is time to revive this thread.
Would anyone care to take a stab as to the location of this church building?
Candor, NY?
No, it is actually in Qingdao, China. Who would've guessed that? Not me.
Would you like to post a pic for myself and others to guess at?
