Preserved Scaffolding at Urban

Diaries found at the abbe in the late fifteenth century record that sometime after A.D. 621 work to renovate the abbe buildings was begun and included the construction of scaffolding to support major portions of the main complex. It is recorded that the membership of the abbe was so impressed with the scaffolding that it was decided it should be left in place for eternity, or for at least as long as the brothers are content to look upon it. Recent efforts to restore the scaffolding have met with mixed success owing to annual invasions by termites and wood-eating ants.
