This ministry located in the Rheingau region was founded about 1,000 years ago and was used as the set for the 1986 film "The Name of the Rose". Although I have never seen that movie, the guided wine tour (which featured a glass of 6 different types of Riesling) was amazing. The buildings were so incredible, some are almost completely original, only receiving minor maintenance in the last 1,000 years! The room pictured above is actually an optical illusion – the floor is on a slope and at the end of the hall it is a half metre higher than the other end. This combined with the shortening pillars (the roof is level) gives the appearance that it is longer than it actually is.
