Very. The only other Carolingian church which I ever saw in person (the Einhard’s Basilica) looks very similar.

Yes, I have. It is completely empty. I think because it was deserted as a church (although never desecrated) it was left pretty much unaltered. Other Carolingian buildings were extended and partly re-build etc. so they are not as impressive today.
