Pacem in Terris

Painter, sculptor, and author, Frederick Franck (1909-2006) was known for his books on life, art, and transreligious thought. From his Belgium childhood at the dawn of the First World War, to his training as a dental surgeon working with Dr. Albert Schweitzer, being raised agnostic, and as a lifelong student of Zen Buddhism, Franck’s works were deeply influenced by these experiences. Franck, with his wife Claske, transformed the ruin of a watermill across the river from his Warwick, NY home into Pacem in Terris - a transreligious Oasis. The old mill and the grounds of the house – filled with the sculpture he referred to as 'Icons,' are open to the public during late spring through early fall. No admission is charged.
