30 monks for a building that size isn’t very many either. I wonder how many it had in its heyday
It fell into ruin once before in the 1800s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himmerod_Abbey
I’d guess 120-150 in the 1950’s. As the thing has been in ruins and rebuilt many times before, present size is no indication of how big it was in 1200. I’d guess that it peaked between 1200 and 1347.
