Family Chapel

24 Feb 2009 89
The private (though publicly viewable) chapel at the estate of one of the old German noble families (Hohenzollern?), near Friedrichshafen. What's especially cool about this particular church is the cieling decoration - it's plaster rocaille (sculpted flowers, leaves, and vines), all in shades of icy gray. It looks a little colorless in this photo, but that's the point - it's not gaudily colorful like other baroque/rococo churches, making it much more dignified and sophisticated looking.
