Restored for future
Native members of the villages and communities round this monastery still need this House of God for their religious contemplation. But within the next generations the touristic visitors will prevail and admire the catholic answer against protestant demand of reading and understanding the bible without pictures, only by intellect: SOLA FIDE ! For uneducated peasant families unable to read, the Catholic churches got a Barock outfit: The stories and messages of the bible were visualised.
The importance of the organ enforcing the sound of religious feelings was adopted from the protestant fascination of organ music ( J.S. Bach). The catholic tradition of Religious choires enforcing the mysterium of the Holly Mass (Domspatzenchor Regensburg seit 976 BC ! ) was enriched by a catholic tradition of religious music esp. in the romantic 19th century (Max Reger, Rheinberger).
Compare the protestant baroque organ tradition in Saxonia ( Leipzig, Dresden) with the catholic music tratition in Bavaria or Rhineland (Regensburg, Cologne)
Then take fotos of the organs and try to listen during a service ! This experience will help you to understand what you see and what you capture in your foto.
I hope that AI progress will not produce a mess !
