Restauration de la Chapelle

            Deutsch:
Diese alte Kirche in Frankreich trägt die Spuren ihres langen Verfalls, doch ihre einstige Schönheit ist noch immer zu erahnen. Überall im Raum finden sich Figuren, Gemälde und Altäre, die trotz der Verwahrlosung den Eindruck erwecken, als wären sie für die Ewigkeit bestimmt. Die Mauern werden von tiefen Rissen durchzogen, die die Unsicherheit des Gebäudes deutlich machen. Zwischen den zerbrochenen Fenstern und bröckelnden Wänden haben Tauben Unterschlupf gesucht. Obwohl Fallen aufgestellt waren, gelang es uns, alle Vögel zu befreien und sie wieder in die Freiheit zu entlassen. Die Möglichkeit einer Renovierung schwebt im Raum, doch wann dieser Ort wieder in altem Glanz erstrahlen könnte, ist ungewiss. In dieser Mischung aus Verfall und stiller Würde bleibt eine erhabene Schönheit spürbar, die den Besucher ehrfürchtig innehalten lässt.

English:
This old church in France bears the marks of long-standing decay, yet its former beauty still lingers. Statues, paintings, and altars fill the space, giving the impression that they were preserved for eternity despite the neglect. The walls are marked by deep cracks, highlighting the building's fragile state. Between broken windows and crumbling walls, pigeons had found shelter. Traps had been set, but we managed to free all of them, releasing them back into the wild. The prospect of restoration hovers in the air, though when this place might once again shine in its former glory remains unknown. In this blend of decay and quiet dignity, there is a profound beauty that compels visitors to pause in awe.
