This abbey can be found in the center of Middelburg, Zeeland, the Netherlands. It's partly depicted because of its size. It orginates from the early medieval years. Much of the old city center of Middelburg, including this abbey, was bombed in the early phases of WW II (on May 17th, 1940) by the 'German Luftwaffe', to compel the surrender of the Dutch Army forces in Zeeland. After the war, as much of the old town center was rebuilt and restored along pre-war lines as possible.The medieval abbey is still in use today, as a museum and as the seat of the provincial government.
Hope you'll like this image. Thanks in advance for your comment.

That's a great looking shot, Mr. C. I love those steeples, and the sky is gorgeous. Excellent details in the bricks of the abbey. Another fine example of your photography skills!

I love old buildings and this is a beauty.
I wish we here in the US restored more old buildings.
Sad to say we have the tendency to destroy and build new.
I realize cost plays a major role in this .. but we are destroying our history. I like the red shutters .
Great shot and information.

I would travel only by horse, if I had the choice. ~ Linda McCartney ~
I like how the steeple extends into the back framing SEA. A nice touch. Colors, clarity and everything else is typical of your great abilities.
Good health to you and yours.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
You did an excellent job on capturing the beauty of this achitectural masterpiece Cornelius. Very Nice work.

A beautiful image for sure, Cornelius, and you've got to love those red shutters. War destroys so much. I'm glad they were able to restore it. Reminds me of what was done to Dresden.

It's wonderful they restored this beautiful cathedral. I love the way both of the steeples are of a different shape, gorgeous stone work. Such a wonderful capture

Cornelius - How fortunate that the town leaders had the foresight to rebuild / restore the old buildings, maintaining the beautiful character of Middelburg. As you always do, your capture of this abbey is excellent. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
A beautiful cathedral and it was really worth restoring. A beautiful and very well taken photo with great details and composition.

The Abbey looks very impressive also from this angle Cornelius. The details and textures are very clear too.
