Riddagshausen Klosterkirche. (continued)

This detailed wood carving from the pulpit staircase in the Nave shows Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.   So this is where all our troubles began, thanks!   The wood carving dates from 1615.  It is an amazing structure, as is the oak Baroque High Altar of 1735 in the photo below.  The lowest photo shows a general view of the Nave looking towards the High Altar.   More historical information can be found at:    www.klosterkirche-riddagshausen.de     I received news this morning of the death last week of  an old friend.  He had been ill for several years but is now at peace.   I feel rather melancholy at the moment, but I will be back later with more news from a very wet Timmerlah and Braunschweig.   Am I in England?
