I wish everyone a Happy Easter holiday.
Peeking through the shrubs in the westwork of the church in Reinhausen near Göttingen. This is the main church built by the counts of Reinhausen who also founded Helmarshausen Monastery. The church dates to the early 11th century and is a fine example of but lightly altered (the large windows are Baroque) Romanesque style
The church sits on a hill above the village of Reinhausen. There had been a castle on the same hill as well, but of that almost nothing remains.
The church celebrates its 1000 year anniversary this year and has undergone renovation. During that process, some murals and reliefs have been found, like the one below showing Christ's way with the cross, dating to about 1400.
I'll be away after easter to visit some places in southern Germany. I'll be back at the beginning of May.
