Kloster Lichtenthal, Claufurgarten und Einfiedelkapelle

Near Baden-Baden, this abbey has a very long but limited (sort of) history, as demonstrated in this Wikipedia excerpt:  “The Prince’s Chapel was built in 1288, and until 1372 was the burial place of the Margraves of Baden. Here is also the tomb of the foundress, Margravine Irmengard. Besides the tombs, the high altar and several side altars, this chapel also contains the statue of the ‘Madonna of the Keys’, so called because in times of danger the abbey keys are entrusted to her. (The abbey has until now survived every danger unscathed, as is related in a Baden-Baden drinking song).”  Some of us have an expression for this:  damned by faint praise.  Unused B&W card.  Grade: 1
