On the right the windows are stoned shut. This is because they used changed these rooms to be the library for some years. The library has now moved though.

From their website: "A community of Benedictine monks, brought together around the Gospel, the Rule of St.Benedict and the people who want to make this place live to make it attractive for everybody : hosts, pilgrims, pupils, passersby and surfers." I thought the surfers bit may have been a mistranslation but it is the same on the Dutch and French pages. Hmmm.
