The Pleasant Street Wesleyan Methodist Church, built in Ballarat's Pleasant Street, was completed in 1867 for the princely sum of £1700.00 The price and the Methodist Church's grandeur shows how the Wesleyan Methodist congregation had grown in both size and wealth as Ballarat's gold rush grew.
The Pleasant Street Wesleyan Methodist Church was designed by local architect J. A. Doane and has been built in Victorian Academic Gothic style. Built of red brick with a tiled roof, the church has clear architectural elements associated with the Gothic style including flying buttresses that define structural bays, a steeply pitched roof, a parapeted gable and narrow windows. It is an almost exact replica of the second Wesleyan Methodist Church, built in Neil Street in the Ballarat suburb of Soldier's Hill, and incidentally was also completed in 1867. In 1886, additions for choir purposes were made to the church, after designs by prolific Ballarat architect Charles Douglas Figgis, who also designed the adjoining Victorian Romanesque Sunday School.
Gothic architecture was perceived by the pious Victorians as an expression of religious, and therefore, moral values. Its revival was thus seen as virtuous and equated with moral revival. For this reason an ecclesiastical character was predominant.
Charles Douglas Figgis (1849 - 1895) also designed the Ballarat Presbyterian church, the former Ballarat Congregational Church, the former Ballarat Mining Exchange and the Geelong Club amongst many other buildings during his short life.
The Old New York County Courthouse at 52 Chambers Street in Manhattan, New York City, more commonly known as the Tweed Courthouse, was built in Italianate style with Romanesque Revival interiors, using funds provided by the corrupt William M. "Boss" Tweed, whose Tammany Hall political machine controlled the city and state governments at the time.

Day 11: After leaving Reims I headed further East to Strasbourg, the crossroads of French and German culture, in time to watch a Germany VS France Euro Cup game. It was a very different city, with its germanic architecture built from red stones out of the clay bearing soil. The food here was fantastic.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg is a beautiful gothic church in central Strasbourg and offers a stunning view of the city. It was the world's tallest building for 227 years from 1647 to 1874.

Hudec was in the Austro-Hungarian army, captured by the Russians in WWI, escaped and made his way to Shanghai, where he lived until 1947. He had some difficulty in obtaining a passport from the successor states of Czechoslovakia and/or Hungary in the 1920's and 1930's, eventually obtaining Hungarian citizenship. He lived in Berkeley California from 1947 to his death in 1958.

Fountains at the Civic Buildings downtown. Downtown, I hardly ever go there, not many reasons for me to do so. I used to though when younger, working downtown at my profession. Mostly just my bank now. I used to stop at the European Bakery for Hard Rolls, but they retired and things change.

The beginnings
The in the 8th century still used place name "in Bisontio" in connection with the Celtic tribe of the Ambisont, Bronze Age pottery fragments and copper smelting sites (near the Ebenbergalm, the Middle station and in Thumserbach) indicate an entering and probably also first settlement in the area around the lake Zeller See even yet more than 3000 years ago. Even in Roman times and the Migration Period the traffic-geographically conveniently situated place at the intersection of several roads (Saalachtal, Salzach Valley, North-South connection across the main Alpine ridge with a Celtic-Roman pass sanctuary at Hochtor) probably may have been of some interest. There is some evidence that the Saumhandel (commerce carried out by mule drivers) and the with it related settlement were never entirely abandoned to the Bavarian land acquisition in the early Middle Ages, also the foundation of a "monastery" as a business cell (comparable to a hospice) in the second half of the 8th century therefore likely is related to those activies.
The Bavarian Cella in Bisontio
Even though the "Cella in Bisontio" in the Salzburger Property Register Notitia Arnonis (Records of the Arno) in the year 788/790 (previous years as 740, 743, 748 or dates as "under Bishop John" are not provable inventions) documentarily is mentioned for the first time, the entire Pinzgau belonged at those times but to the Duchy of Bavaria, the territorial power was distributed to several influential Bavarian counties. The founders of Celle therefore have to be looked for in the aristocratic circumcircle of the Bavarian duke Tassilo III., and the Duke himself as the founder can not entirely be excluded. The name Cella (Czel, Cell, Zell, ...) in any case soon as designation also for the secular settlement asserted itself, of the (early) medieval laying out of the marketplace (now Town Square) the arrangement of the buildings, and here in particular the tower Vogtturm essentially remained unchanged. The owners of this stately tower are unknown, but in any case also have to be looked for in influential noble families (Lords of Pinzgowe?).
The Church to St. Hippolytus
The present parish church St. Hippolyte with a historically interesting crypt in its roots may date back to the early days of the Cella, a next to the entrance to the sacristy walled antique head sculpture as well as other parts from the Roman period (spolia) possibly even could be interpreted as evidence of pre-Christian cult site. Even the old provost's residence at the town square (now Spänglerbank) and basement vaults in the Kirchgasse indicate a high age. Next to the (presumably noble own) church to St. Hippolytus stood formerly the People's and Pilgrimage church of Maria in the Forest (Maria Walt - Wald-wood), it had to be demolished in 1770 after a devastating fire in the center of the village. The church Hippolytkirche too was badly affected, according to the wishes of the people it should have been replaced by a new building.
The advent of Salzburg, market privileges, trade and court in the High and Late Middle Ages
In the 12th and 13th century, the influence of the Archbishop of Salzburg continuously in Innergebirg (Land in the moutains) grew, comprehensive inheritance rights secured in 1228 the ownership of the prince archbishopric in Pinzgau, once and for all, the individual counties in 1480 fell under the crook. For a long time at any rate also the suffragan bishopric Chiemsee (with a residence on Castle Fischhorn), founded in 1217 and dependent of Salzburg, had to be supplied of the Zeller parish in the form of Mensalabgaben (monthly contributions).
The origins of the Zeller market rights date back to the first half of the 14th century, according to a ranking on a Salzburg panel (anno 1620) Zell even - because of the central location hardly surprising - in terms of time, may have been the first market in the Pinzgau. Under Archbishop Ortolf of Weißeneck the Zeller citizens in 1357 got further market privileges which in the following centuries were repeatedly renewed and extended, among other reasons, because the North-South trade more and more to the in the meantime into a cart track developed "Lower Road" over the Radstadt Tauern shifted.
Nevertheless, the Zeller as accommodation providers, mule drivers and middlemen still played an important role, one supplied the south mainly with salt from the archbishop's salt works and returned with products of the Mediterranean area (sweet wine, oil, tropical fruits, "Venedigerwaren - goods from Venice", ...). Many already in the 15th century confirmed by documents Zeller hospitality and gastronomy operations mainly stood in connection to bound to the trade "wine fief", for the packhorses partly large stables were available. The original applicable to all markets Panmarktrecht (the trade being "forced" in the market places - literally, banned market right) herein for a very long time was claimed, however, these provisions later as freedom of trade rights were misinterpreted and therefore by the country's authorities withdrawn.
In the late Middle Ages Zell also as place of jurisdiction can be proven, shortly before 1600 the local district court was united with the Pflege (small scale administration district) of Kaprun and the Urbaramt (administrative units in the Middle Ages and in Modern Times) in Fusch, the market Zell im Pinzgau thus also became central place of administration and the court.
Mining and trades
Mining over the centuries also played an important role, in numerous tunnels in the then still independent municipalities of Bruckberg and Thumserbach chalcopyrite ore and pyrite ore als well as argentiferous galena and and sphalerite were mined. The "Empfachs- and Freypuech" of "Perckhgerichts" (Mining Court) Zell am See in 1542 numerous tunnels owned by several trades at Lienberg and Limberg demonstrates. Although mining subsequently, also conditioned by a general severe economic crisis, rapidly decreased, in 1611 still up to 400 tons of ore per year could be extracted and from them in the Pochwerken (mining factory) in the Schütt and in Thumserbach some 20 000 kilograms of fine copper obtained. As trades (mining entrepreneurs) herein particularly the Rosenbergs made their appearance, to them also goes back the (from) 1577 built and since 1973 as the city hall used Rosenberg Castle.
