Kipili Monastery - Remains of White Sisters quarters

Near Kipili, Tanzania

Sad to see how quickly these buildings have disintegrated.
The White Sisters and Fathers only lived here for under 50 years -
so much work just abandoned. The Church is still consecrated
and the resort we stayed at are planning weddings on the site. They
have undertaken to clean up the rubble, at least around the Church.

Unbelievable images. Seems impossible that mere time could do this so quickly. Was it razzed? Vote.

Some real devastation and interesting story too. Good to see what it all looked like before, Gill. V

A shame to have the fine building fall into ruin in such a short time. V

A sympathetic shot of this somewhat sad scene, Gill. The original buildings look so nicely built.

What a pity to see it looking like this considering how grand the buildings were! v

I wonder how they fell apart so quickly? Excellent group of before and after captures, and does make one wonder what happened. V.
