Lubiąż Abbey - Poland

Prince's Hall is the largest and most important room of the Abbey.

A long, one-story corridor leads to an exuberant baroque portal which occupies the entire wall, and dramatically opens into the two-story tall hall. The portal is framed by two larger-than-life atlases, an Indian and a Moor.
