📜 Anno Domini 1327⚘️… In the darkness, among 🕯📜parchment and forbidden books📚, blood was spilled behind monastery walls⛪️.... A cunning Franciscan friar and his young novice seek the truth – and find themselves amidst murder and the Inquisition. 🎬When star director Jean-Jacques Annaud and producer Bernd Eichinger set out in 1986 to find a suitable location for their film adaptation of Umberto Eco's classic "⚘️The Name of the Rose⚘️", it was the beginning of a global career for Eberbach Monastery⛪️ as a screen star.
