Freising - Crypt

Freising - Crypt
Another try to take a photo in the dark crypt ...

The crypt was finished in 1161, when St. Nonnosius´ relics were stored in the little tomb here. The crypt has four naves - 24 pillars (3 x 8) plus halfpillars on the sidewalls. All pillars are different. They are obviously done by different carvers. In the middle of the crypt (and of this photo, barely to be seen) is a so called "Bestiensaeule", a pillar "formed" by beasts, known in Europe only from few places (Souillac!), but thisone is totally different. The little daylight comes through windows of an apse on the eastside, added later. In 1161 - it was even darker here ..
