When were you there, and what shape was the Abbey in? I visited in 2000 and the Abbey itself looked like nothing had been meaningfully altered in 56 years. I spoke with a resident/Abbey neighbour who said there were plans in the works to refurbish the space into a kind of community hall and likely plaster over all the bullet holes and other superficial war damage.
