Paradise Gardens, Ebstorf = 1480
Originally there were 23 of these cushions and they formed a wall in the chapel, separating it from the choir. The flowers
were created in Melchen and the cushions were assembled in Ebstorf where they were made to look like a garden wall with a
lattice work above the cushions. They were "walled in" during the Protestant Reformation, where they remained hidden
until the early 19th century.

Bentlage/Rheine
1499 Not pictured in the guides.
It appears
that this display takes up an entire wall at the convent in Bentlage. It doesn't and this picture was taken before the
restoration. There are two quite large reliquaries at the convent. I very much enjoyed my visit here.

We now call this one the shrine of the dead dog because the little dog in front was tipped over the
day I was taking pictures. Also the light in the case was burned out so I photographed with my book light. I got some great
pictures too.
