EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning confessional, located within the historic Ettal Monastery in Upper Bavaria, Germany, is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and devotional artistry of the 18th century. Founded in 1330, this Benedictine monastery underwent its first phase of construction between 1330 and 1370, with further additions during the 18th and 19th centuries. The confessional, carved from richly ornamented wood, is a prime example of the Baroque style that dominated European art and architecture during this period. The intricate carvings on the confessional depict various saints and religious scenes, while the gilt detailing adds an air of opulence and grandeur. The steps leading up to the confessional provide a sense of ascension, symbolizing the spiritual journey of confession and reconciliation. Ettal Monastery, also known as the Abbey of Ettal, has been an important center of Catholicism in Germany for over 600 years. The monastery's beautiful architecture and religious art have attracted visitors from around the world, making it a must-see destination for those interested in European history, art, and religion. This photograph, taken in 2010 by Hubertus Kanus for Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the beauty and intricacy of the confessional, offering a glimpse into the rich history and spiritual significance of Ettal Monastery.
