Torhalle, Lorsch Abbey (Лорш)

Germany / Hessen / Lorsch / Лорш
 gate, monastery, gatehouse, interesting place, UNESCO World Heritage Site
The 9th-century 'Torhalle' (gatehouse) is a unique survival of the Carolingian era. It curiously combines some elements of the Roman triumphal arch (arch-shaped passageways, half-columns) with the vernacular Teutonic heritage (baseless triangles of the blind arcade, polychromatic masonry).
