The Library Of The Waldsassen Abbey Has Thousands Of Books Bound in Pigskin
Waldassen Abbey might look like a regular baroque church made with huge pieces of stone from the outside, but it is a modern and gorgeous work of art from the inside. The abbey was founded in 1133 as a male-only monastery, although this changed in 1803. Its library comes with gorgeous carved shelves full of thousands of books bound in dark calfskin and white pigskin. A lot of the columns have been carved into the forms of grotesque men. They were supposedly bent into such unusual shapes because of their sins. Looking up at the ceiling will show you a painted ceiling that was added in the 1700s.

A Unique Custom Car Called The 1951 Studebaker Woodie
Studebaker did not make a Woodie for the public in 1951, even though they badly wanted to do it. During the early ‘50s, they hired a designer to design this amazing car and buckled down to bring it to life. It came with a 390-cubic-inch Ford Edsel V-8, so you can bet that the performance of the car will impress you! While they did not get any farther than a prototype, the one that they ended up building is a very cool, rare, and fascinating piece of custom machinery. It has only ever been on the road for a test drive, which explains why it looks like it is fresh off the factory line!
