The Maria Laach Abbey, on the southwestern shores of Lake Laach in Germany, is one of those places which makes one almost believe that humans weren’t entirely a bad idea. Built during the 11th-12th centuries, it is now home to some 30 Benedictine monks, sublime music, rustic food, contemplation and a beautiful library. Image source: Colossal Magazine.
