Strasbourg Cathedral, Strasbourg, France: Strasbourg Cathedral or the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg, also known as Strasbourg Minster, is a Catholic cathedral in Strasbourg, Alsace, France. Although considerable parts of it are still in Romanesque architecture, it is widely considered to be among the finest examples of Rayonnant Gothic architecture. Wikipedia

Franklin Neto

The "Centro de Interpretação do Românico" is a museum dedicated to explain the history of Romanesque architecture in the north of the Portugal. The concept of the modern concrete building's form is derived from the Romanesque architecture it aims to help interpret. Based on the generator concepts of Romanesque architecture in Portugal, the building aims to be a transitional element between the present and the distant Romanesque past.

Church Reviews #2 - Santuario Nuestra Señora de la Salud Páramo

This is a much smaller church compared to those in neighboring towns, but it earns a lot of points for its stained glass windows and green-and-yellow tiled floor, two things that I really love. Additionally, since the main street where it's located is still made of stone, it blends in much better with the scenery. When you see it from the outside, it feels like you’ve traveled at least a century back in time.

The yellow and green tiles are charmingly quaint. Stained glass windows are the most beautiful things a church can have. The way they color the light from outside always gives me a certain joy in my soul. The roof isn’t even made of stone; it’s made of wood, but I still love it because it gives the place a cottage-like feel, just like the apartment in our house in our hometown. It’s a roof that feels even cozier than one made of stone or any cement building.

The red niches and pilasters, the green background, and the golden ornamentation and cornices make the altar look as ostentatious as possible, saturating your senses and giving the place a surreal and magical quality. It also contrasts quite a bit with the rest of the church. This is a quality you don’t see in many altars nowadays, but it’s essential in the design because it makes you say, “This place is special, a sacred site full of beauty.”

The clock in the center above the Virgin is a detail I love, and the pink bell tower makes it look like the church is wearing a pointed gnome hat, just like Wirt from Over the Garden Wall. The entrance also looks like it has a parapet and I love the hell out of that detail because it feels almost like from a castle. I don’t know much of the history of this church, aside from the plaque at the entrance stating there was a reconstruction in 1993. Even so, I found it to be a very charming church.

Sainte Adelphe, Neuwiller-lès-Saverne, Alsace, France

[mjalford98]

The Chapel of St Michael the Archangel, owned by the SSPX in Burghclere, England, seen decorated for a wedding last Saturday, and reflected in the bright afternoon sunlight in a puddle left over from a solid downpour of rain in the morning. These conditions of bright sunlight following a solid rainfall necessary for such a great puddle reflection are quite rare in the UK, although they tend to be more common in the Autumn, but they're such great fun for creative shots, and traditional architecture, with all its colours and human proportions always looks great as a puddle reflection. The chapel was only completed last year.

The Znojmo Rotunda, or the Rotunda of St. Catherine, in Znojmo, South Moravia

It is probably built in the eleventh century, by Břetislav, Duke of Bohemia. Konrad II of Znojmo had the rotunda reconstructed in a Romanesque style in 1134.

The Journey Ends: Durham Cathedral

Images and impressions of one of the world's most magnificent buildings, as my St. Cuthbert pilgrimage ends at Durham Cathedral.

St. Cuthbert’s Cross (late 7th century). This pectoral cross of gold and garnet was found in St. Cuthbert’s coffin in 1827. It was hung around his neck, but whether he wore it in life is uncertain. This is the third and final part of my pilgrimage account from St. Cuthbert’s Way and beyond. The previous installments can be found at these links:  Walking St. Cuthbert’s Way Grace and Beauty on…
