I wonder if the retreat was used as a diplomatic exit from political church disputes as much as r and r. These guys were not made bishops for being nice or holy. The corporate world of the wealthy parts of the church, the contemporary one per cent, would rival any modern boardroom fights, and mysterious deaths were not entirely unheard of. They also could raise armies if needed.
Loved it!
lovely work
Catching up on Sunday, I missed my early morning Saturday session. Really enjoying this one, nice work guys. :)
Awesome, thank you!
Interesting video my friends, very enjoyable viewing, on to the next.
Thank you. We are really glad you enjoyed it. So many more places to visit. 😀
Brrrrr. Looks cold. But also lovely!
It was! Both! 😀

You make them sound such lovely people. It does look a little more fortified than you imagine a retreat normally being.
