Location

Judging by the satellite shot, I'm confused by the West / East distinctions for the convent buildings, so maybe a simpler "the two convent buildings, one dating back ... and a more recent post-Reformation ..." would work.

"Leading through a passage between the convent buildings is a two-storey Brick Gothic cross-coat." - I'm inclined to interpret this as "connecting the convent buildings to the church is a two-storey..." and I think a covered over hallway like I see from the air shot is a cloister as opposed to a cross-coat.

Also, it seems that a Pilgersaal is a "pilgrim's hall", which I think would not be the sanctuary, possibly a place for travellers to sleep? Or then again, maybe for outsiders to worship in?

Just guessing here. :) Franamax (talk) 12:13, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
