Whenever I see a building of 1000 years or older. I imagine what impression such this must have had on a native of the time. Somebody who lived in a hovel, who had possibly never seen even an ordinary two-story house. And then he stood before such a monumental building which dominates its surroundings even today.

This is the basilica of St Nazarius, the church of Lorsch Abbey. I had similar thoughts when we visited Durham Cathedral. The buildings are simply overwhelming.
