The Monastery in Rye


The image shows a large, historic stone building, with a prominent arched entrance and multiple windows. The architecture suggests a traditional and grand structure. The entrance is flanked by two large, ornate green doors. There are some trees and greenery in the foreground, and the sky is bright overhead.
A detailed view of a baroque-style gold mirror with a highly ornate frame, hanging on a gray wood-paneled wall. Below it is a large arrangement of pink hydrangeas and a golden sunburst sculpture. The mirror reflects a glimpse of a different room with a chandelier.
A dramatic vertical shot of a large, high-ceilinged room with exposed wooden beams and trusses. The room is set up for a ceremony with rows of wooden cross-back chairs with white cushions lining a central aisle of dark wooden floorboards. Ornate crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling. A strong shaft of sunlight streams in from a skylight, illuminating a section of the floor and filling the air with a soft haze or dust. The far end of the room features a dark gray paneled wall with a balcony or mezzanine
A dimly lit, dramatic interior space set up for a large event. A long dining table covered with a white cloth is set with plates and wine glasses, surrounded by wooden cross-back chairs. The room features high vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams and skylights, creating strong shadows. Multiple ornate crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling. The walls are rough-textured, and one end of the room has large decorative mirrors and candles.
A vertical shot of an old, weathered stone and brick building with a reddish-brown tiled roof. A large, dark wooden door is at the top of an exterior stone staircase with a black metal railing on the right. A gold, star-shaped sign is mounted on the wall to the left of the door, above a Gothic-style arched window. The lower part of the building has smaller windows, and the ground is covered in cobblestones. The structure is bathed in bright sunlight.
A detailed view of an ornate, golden ram's head sculpture with curled horns, positioned on a shiny black table. A large bouquet of blue, pink, and red flowers is next to it, and a black-framed mirror hangs on the wall behind.
A close-up of a large, vintage, floor-length mirror with a weathered frame, reflecting a cluttered room. In front of it is a table filled with dozens of brass candle holders, each with a long, thin candle in shades of pink, red, and gold.
A stylish black leather and chrome chair sits on a patterned rug next to a small glass-topped table holding a colorful bouquet. A classical statue and a baroque-style gold mirror are in the background. The wall behind the statue is an ornate stone archway, while the wall behind the mirror is dark wood panelling.
A wooden double door, weathered and slightly ajar, stands in the center of a red brick building. A wreath made of antlers and pine cones hangs above the entrance, and a small, red-tinged room is visible through the opening.

The Monastery in Rye is a 14th century ancient and sacred space lovingly restored to provide a backdrop which oozes glamour without losing the textures of the centuries gone by. Its position in Rye, an unspoiled medieval gem of a town perched on a hill with distant sea views, is incredibly romantic.
