The cathedral, Notre-Dame d'Amiens, dates to the 13th century - founded in 1220 and consecrated some 50 years later, though some work on the church still remained then. The first architect was Robert de Luzarches, who worked on the church until 1228, he was followed by Thomas de Cormont who continued on the work for some 30 years, and then the work was finished by his son Renaud de Cormont. The cathedral is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In the cathedral Notre Dame in Bayeux. It was originally in Romanesque style but later rebuilt in Gothic style (as evident here). The cathedral was consecrated in 1077 in the presence of William the Conqueror (who was also the Duke of Normandy) - but the build had started already around 1040 and mostly finished in the 15th century.
St Josephs Catholic Church, Pauatahanui, Wellington, New Zealand. Consecrated on Sunday April 28th 1878, St Josephs was the second catholic church built in the greater Wellington region and is the oldest still in use today. Built in a Gothic style (seating up to 100) from native Matai and Rimu timber milled locally. At the time the church served a small isolated farming district. Today St Josephs is listed as a Historic Place Category 1 building being of outstanding historical or cultural significance.
After I did consecrate myself more to the big range of the landscapes, I want to step a bit closer now. This here is a tiny section of a large corn field. In the middle of a field of barley (more next to the edge, because I cant fly) is standing an unblenching oat plant.
As a photographer I'm often looking for the outsiders. The tree, standing alone in the middle of the field or the flower what is looking so different than the others around it. Maybe it is because I am one by myself. Compared with this here, most of them can be found much more easily. For that photo, luck was responsible in the most part.
Nachdem ich mich in den letzten Tagen mehr der Weite der Landschaften gewidmet habe, möchte ich nun wieder einmal etwas näher treten. Dies ist eine winziger Ausschnitt aus einem großen Getreidefeld. Mitten in einem Meer aus Gerste (eher mehr am Rand davon, ich kann ja nicht fliegen) steht da völlig unerschrocken eine Haferpflanze.
Als Fotograf bin ich häufig auf der Suche nach dem Aussenseiter. Dem Baum, der allein auf dem Feld steht oder der Blüte, die so ganz anders aussieht als alle um ihn herum. Wahrscheinlich, weil ich selbst einer bin. Im Gegensatz zu dem hier sind die meisten deutlich leichter zu finden. Für dieses Bild war größtenteils das Glück verantwortlich.

St. Cyril's Monastery, used to be the largest monastery and the strongest fortress in Northern Russia.
The monastery was consecrated to the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos, for which cause it was sometimes referred to as the Dormition Monastery of St. Cyril.

Zu den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten von Cádiz zählt die Kathedrale aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Sie liegt direkt am Meer und im historischen Zentrum an der Plaza de la Catedral.
Der Bau der Kathedrale von Cádiz vollzog sich in 116 Jahren. Verschiedene Architekten und Baumeister gaben sich den Stift in die Hand und integrierten dabei ganz unterschiedliche Stile: Barock, Rokoko und Neoklassik – 1838 wurde das Gotteshaus dann geweiht.
Die lichte Helle setzt sich im Innenraum der Kathedrale fort, der weit und großzügig wirkt und von korinthischen Marmorsäulen strukturiert ist. Er misst 85 Meter Länge, 60 Meter Breite und beeindruckende 52 Meter Höhe. Nicht zuletzt bietet er angenehm kühle Temperaturen in der Gluthitze des andalusischen Sommers.
One of the main attractions of Cadiz is the 18th-century cathedral. It is located directly on the sea and in the historic center on the Plaza de la Catedral.
The construction of the Cathedral of Cadiz took 116 years. Various architects and master builders took charge and integrated very different styles: baroque, rococo and neoclassical – the church was consecrated in 1838.
The bright light continues in the interior of the cathedral, which appears wide and spacious and is structured by Corinthian marble columns. It measures 85 meters in length, 60 meters in width and an impressive 52 meters in height. Last but not least, it offers pleasantly cool temperatures in the sweltering heat of the Andalusian summer.
Luckily I had my boots with me as you need to walk in through a soggy field.
Completed in 1462, and consecrated by Donatus O’Connor-Sligo, a Dominican monk, and member of a noble family which gave more than one bishop to the See of Killala, it is told, Moyne was to rise to prominence within Irish Franciscan circles, with Provincial Chapters of the order being held there on several occasions between 1464 and 1550. At its zenith the monastery boasted a valuable library, infirmary, two mills for grinding corn, excellent pasturage, pools for fish, a water-mill and a never-failing spring of wholesome water. The community including priests, professors, students and lay-brothers, would have numbered upwards of 50.
According to a local legend reminiscent of the selection of the site of the church of ‘Sancta Maria ad Nives’ in Rome, the monks had their choice of all of the lands owned by their benefactor, and having examined several likely sites, O Donoghue, the Provincial, in the company of a Father Chilvart, settled on Moyne (Maighin translated as a small plain), apparently with the help of either a little robin or wren. The little robin was held in high regard by the Irish as this bird was said to have got its red breast through its efforts to stanch the blood on the brow of the crucified Christ. Conversely, the wren is a maligned bird as it was regarded as promiscuous, which would not have endeared it to the more puritanical of Christian preachers. Apparently the upright tail of the wren was viewed as sexual imagery, as was the black chafer, which raises its tail when threatened. The chafer (known in Irish as daradaol or deargadaol ) also had an anti-Christian representation as it was believed that it informed on Christ, thereby leading to His arrest.
In any case, the intervention of the robin was taken as a divine gesture, after which the Provincial exclaimed: ‘God has shown us and that is the site of our monastery,’ and further referred to the location as:
The abbey stands on the site of an earlier oratory attributed to St. Muinchin/Mucna, a local folk-saint. He is reputed to have been a disciple of St. Patrick’s who ruled a church which is called Maighin; that he lived until about 520AD and that his birthday was celebrated at Moyne on the 4 March.
The first church in Lusowo in this place was built in 1244. According to the oldest documents, it was a wooden church. A historic event was the establishment of a parish in Lusowo on July 15, 1288. Over the years, the wooden church has been damaged. The new temple was consecrated in 1499. It has undergone several renovations. The present appearance of the church dates from 1913 - 1916. The Gothic chancel with a stellar vault and a rood arch has remained from the old 15th century church. It is the chapel of the new church dedicated to St. Jadwiga and St. James the Apostle.

Pierwszy kościół w Lusowie w tym miejscu wybudowano w 1244 roku. Jak podają najdawniejsze dokumenty był to drewniany kościół. Wydarzeniem historycznym było utworzenie w Lusowie parafii w dniu 15 lipca 1288 roku. Z biegiem lat drewniany kościół uległ zniszczeniu. Nową świątynię konsekrowano w 1499 roku. Ulegała ona kilkakrotnym renowacjom. Obecny wygląd kościoła pochodzi z roku 1913 - 1916. Ze starego XV wiecznego kościoła pozostało gotyckie prezbiterium z gwiaździstym sklepieniem i łukiem tęczowym. Stanowi ono kaplicę nowej świątyni pod wezwaniem św. Jadwigi i św. Jakuba Apostoła.

Organ:
Macugnaga bell tower (consecrated in 1717, when tourism was not yet developed ) in early spring after a heavy vernal snowfall.
The birth of tourism in Macugnaga traditionally coincides with the visit of the Genevan naturalist De Saussure, who
arrived in the village in 1789, was hosted in the tavern of Antonio Maria del Prato (who thus becomes the first hotelier of Macugnaga), then climbed to the Pedriola and to the smaller peak of Pizzo Bianco.
He will be followed by numerous travelers, mostly English, who will introduce Macugnaga and Monte Rosa with their stories and their engravings.

With the battles finally over, work on temple construction began during the lunar month of February 1817. But the cost of construction was high and proper materials scarce. The Five Lords intervened again, visiting Madame Guo Feng of nearby Madou Village in a dream. Awaking, she took her palanquin to Nankunshen to deliver a personal donation of one thousand liang in silver – enough to keep work on the temple moving forward.
After five years and four months, work on the new temple was finished in 1822. It was at this time that the new home of the Five Lords was officially consecrated as ‘Nankunshen Daitian’ Temple. The original structure, built with the altars of the Five Lords at its center, was approached through a series of three main gates. An active center of worship for the next four decades, the temple gradually fell into disrepair. In 1864, Mssrs. Wu Kang, Hong Hu-pan and Tu Chian, three pious individuals from Keliao Village, together contributed 10,000 yuan for restoration work. In 1872, a new altar – ‘Ching Shan Temple’ - was added at the back, dedicated to the Guanyin Goddess to remember her role in mediating the dispute between the Five Lords and the child spirit.
This is a panoramic view of the 19th century Cathédrale de la Major (Cathédrale Sainte-Marie-Majeure de Marseille) in Marseille created buy stitching together several individual images. The cathedral itself is 142 meters long, 70 meters high and, with a capacity of 3000, is one of the largest in France.
It is built in the Byzantine and Romanesque styles using a variety of materials: white marble from Cararre, green stone from Florence, stone from Calissane and the Gard, and onyx from Italy and Tunisia.
The foundation stone was laid by Emperor Napoleon III in 1852, the first service was held in 1893, the building work was completed in 1896, and it was finally consecrated in 1897.
La Cappella del Barolo is a never-consecrated building located in La Morra, in the Langhe region. It was reinterpreted in 1999 by the artists Sol LeWitt and David Tremlett.
The building was originally built around 1914 by some farmers working in the surrounding countryside and vineyards as a place of refuge and temporary shelter in case of storms or other weather.
In 1971 the building was bought, together with the surrounding land, by the Ceretto family. After falling into disuse and years of neglect, in 1999 the Ceretto family entrusted a modernist reinterpretation to the genius of artists Sol LeWitt, who did the external renovation, and David Tremlett, who repainted the entire interior.
On the outside, the building is characterized by geometric shapes in strong, vivid colors designed by Sol LeWitt, a master of conceptual art.

El origen de la ciudad fue el castillo de Besalú que ya se encuentra documentado en el siglo x, construido encima de un cerro donde están los restos de la canónica de Santa María, en la Alta Edad Media. El trazado actual de la villa no responde fielmente a su estado original pero sí que posibilita a grandes rasgos la lectura de la urbanización de la Edad Media con la existencia de importantes edificios: el puente, los baños judíos, la iglesia del monasterio de San Pedro de Besalú y San Julián, antiguo hospital de peregrinos, la casa Cornellá, la iglesia de San Vicente y la sala gótica del Palacio de la Curia Real.
Besalú deja ver una estructura arquitectónica y urbanística bastante coherente con el pasado medieval. La importancia monumental de Besalú viene dada fundamentalmente por su gran valor de conjunto, por su unidad, que la determina como una de las muestras más importantes y singulares de los conjuntos medievales de Cataluña.
Miró I el Joven fue el primer conde independiente de Besalú. Besalú comenzó a adquirir importancia como capital de condado independiente después de la muerte de Wifredo el Velloso en el año 902, condición que perdió al morir Bernat III, yerno de Ramón Berenguer III, sin descendencia; como consecuencia, en 1111 el condado de Besalú pasó a la casa de Barcelona.
En el siglo xix, durante la Guerra de la Independencia, se produjo una batalla con victoria de las tropas españolas al mando de Juan Clarós.
En 1966, fue declarada «Conjunto Histórico-Artístico Nacional» por su gran valor arquitectónico. Actualmente, Besalú está desarrollando un proyecto social y turístico importante, señalizando el centro histórico para destacar los atractivos turísticos de la población y haciendo excavaciones para investigar diferentes hallazgos arqueológicos.

Besalú (Catalan pronunciation: [bəzəˈlu]) is a town in the comarca of Garrotxa, in Girona, Catalonia, Spain.
The town's importance was greater in the early Middle Ages, as capital of the county of Besalú, whose territory was roughly the same size as the current comarca of Garrotxa but sometime extended as far as Corbières, Aude, in France. Wilfred the Hairy, credited with the unification of Catalonia, was Count of Besalú. The town was also the birthplace of Raimon Vidal, a medieval troubadour.
Besalú was designated as a historical national property ("conjunt històric-artístic") in 1966. The town's most significant feature is its 12th-century Romanesque bridge over the Fluvià river, which features a gateway at its midpoint. The church of Sant Pere was consecrated in 1003. The town features arcaded streets and squares and also a restored mikveh, a ritual Jewish bath dating from the eleventh or twelfth century, as well as the remains of a medieval synagogue, located in the lower town near the river. Besalú also hosts the Museum of miniatures created by jeweler and art collector Lluís Carreras.
The name Besalú is derived from the Latin Bisuldunum, meaning a fort on a mountain between two rivers. It is also the historical capital of the county of “La Garrotxa”. One key date is the year 894, when Besalú was converted to a county with its own dynasty. The county changed from “L’Empordà” to “El Ripollès”. In the year 1111, Besalú lost its independence, for historical reasons in favor of the county of Barcelona. Centuries later, Besalú started a decadent period, worsened by the redemptions, wars with the French and carlists.
In 1966, Besalú was declared a site of historical and artistic importance.
The monument is circled by the ancient wall from the c. XII-XIV. Unfortunately only parts of the original walls still exist. The urban configuration of the site is almost identical to the original layout. Without a doubt, the Medieval Bridge is the emblem of the town, of an angular design with seven uneven arcs and two towers. The part of the town nearest to the bridge there are many narrow streets that belong to the ancient Jewish quarter. It is in this area where you will find the Miqvé, the purification baths, which date from c. XII, and demonstrate the presence of an important Jewish community. The street from the medieval bridge leads to the Town Square “Plaça Major”, a square whose arcades date from c. XVI, and used to be the centre of the medieval town. Important buildings are the Local Government “Ajuntament” dating from c. XVII, the Royal Curia “Cúria Reial”, dating from c. XIV, and the "Casa Tallaferro". The street “Tallaferro” leads to the entrance to the Castle precinct. Inside the precinct there remains one of the towers from the ancient County Castle, and the apse of Saint Mary “Santa Maria” that dates from c. XI. Along with the street “Portalet” these are the remains which best retain the medieval appearance, along with panoramic views of the Romanic Bridge. Leading up from the Main Street “Carrer Major”, there are the “Casa Romà” (c. XIV) and the parish church of Saint Vincent “Sant Vicenç” dating from c. XI-XII which has very sculpturesque doors and windows. Near to the Main Town Square, there is the “Prat de Sant Pere”, wide and spacious which used to be the Cemetery of the Benedictine monastery of Saint Peter “Sant Pere”. Today there only remains the three-nave church and one apse, dating from the c. XI. Also there is the small chapel of Saint James “Sant Jaume” (c. XII) and the “Casa Cornellà” (Llaudes) dating from the c. XII and which has a patio with three galleries. Behind the monastery there is the church of the hospital of Saint Julia “Sant Julià”, with one nave and no apse, dating from c. XII, and an outstanding entrance portal.

Peel Mortuary Chapel graveyard.
Peel chapel The cemetery and “mortuary chapel” were consecrated on the 17th June 1872, a short distance from the village along the road to Wrexham (A528). The Mortuary Chapel was built in memory of Anna Maria Peel who died in 1860, the first wife of Edmund Peel of Bryn y Pys. Before the trees grew high, there were views over the river valley. The chapel was vandalised and burnt in the 1960s.
The Peel Mortuary Chapel and Cemetery in Overton on Dee
The Sad Story is that Edmund Peel aged 24 bought Bryn y Pys in 1848, married Anna Maria Lethbridge in 1854 and she died in 1860. She was initially buried in Overton Church graveyard before the Bishop gave permission for her to be moved to the new site.
His grief in losing his young wife resulted in his building of the mortuary chapel and cemetery, consecrated in June 1872 which was then given to the parishioners of Overton.This grief, however, may have been only part of the overall picture if we look at the context of Victorian history.

Christ Church, Melaka was constructed from 1741 to 1753. This is the original building with the exception that the porch and vestry were added in the mid 1800s. The Pink color was added in 1911, it was originally painted white. Built by Dutch settlers the church was later re-purposed as an Anglican church, which it remains as today. The British East India Company too possession of Melaka in 1838 and the name Christ Church was given to the building when it was consecrated by clergy from the Church of England. The bell, inscribed with 1698, suggests that it was used for another purpose before being installed here.
Consecrated in 1852 and built on the site of an earlier ruin this Anglican church in Gothic Revival Style was designed by Architect Sir George Gilbert Scott.
I knocked the settings on my Canon EOS 7D and bleached out all the exposures on my visit to Halton Castle Hill. All but two were unsalvageable. (Thank goodness I also took a few shots on my Nikon pocket camera and I posted those yesterday.) This was one of the two salvaged shots from the 7D and I was surprised to get this interesting image by running the bleached out almost invisible original through Adobe Photoshop plug-in Google Nik suite. The "Darker Contrasts" filter gave this result.
Troisième plus grande église du monde, et deuxième plus grande cathédrale gothique, la cathédrale de Milan est surnommée « Hérisson de marbre » à cause des 135 flèches. Elle a commencée à être construite par le duc de Milan, Gian Galeazzo Visconti en 1386. Il demande sa construction pour donner à la ville de Milan, un majestueux édifice. La construction s’arrête et est reprise 500 ans plus tard sous l'ordre de Napoléon Bonaparte qui voulait être consacré roi d'Italie dans le Dôme de Milan. Elle a finalement été achevée en 1887.
The third largest church in the world, and the second largest Gothic cathedral, the cathedral of Milan is nicknamed "Hedgehog marble because of the 135 arrows. It began to be built by the Duke of Milan, Gian Galeazzo Visconti in 1386. It asks for its construction to give to the city of Milan, a majestic building. The construction stops and is resumed 500 years later under the order of Napoleon Bonaparte who wanted to be consecrated king of Italy in the Dome of Milan. It was finally completed in 1887.
Old Catholic Church consecrated in 2012 and named after the female apostle Junia. Here you can see it with the Campanile, which was only erected in 2017.
The church is located on the site of the former American Sheridan Barracks, now known as Sheridan-Park in Augsburg.
Junia is only mentioned once in the Bible, in Romans 16:7. Depending on the English or German Bible translation, older versions either make her a male apostle called Junias or a woman who was not an apostle. However the New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE), which was released in 2011, and the Einheitsübersetzung 2016, a German translation of the Bible for liturgical use in Roman Catholic worship, make Junia a woman AND an apostle in their versions of the text.

St.Peter`s Church has a triple-aisled nave with transept and ambulatory.All of it is built in the so called Baltic Gotihic style. Its closest prototype would appear to be St.Mary`s Church at Lubeck.The exterior of the Church is distinguished by its flying buttresses and elegant arches soaring over aisle and ambulatory alike.The tower was given its present apperarance in 1890.Grouped around the main building are several additional erections.To the north of the tower lies the Baptistery or Merchant`s chapel (Krämarekapellet),beloning to the 15th century.To the south lies St.Anna`s chapel,built around 1500 and dedicated to the mother of the blessed Virgin Mary.
Comments
The Cathedral of the Annunciation of Blessed Virgin Mary was consecrated in 1088. It is a three-nave temple in the Romanesque style with Byzantine and early Christian elements.
The most characteristic feature is the mosaic floor of the entire nave and presbytery from the 12th century, as well as the richly decorated ceiling.
The right nave of the cathedral ends with the Chapel of the Martyrs. Seven large glass niches contain the bones of Otranto's citizens. They were murdered by beheading by the Turks on August 14, 1480, after they refused to convert to Islam. Behind the altar there is the "Rock of Martyrdom", on which the heads of about 800 inhabitants of Otranto were beheaded.
On May 12, 2013, Pope Francis proclaimed saints 800 martyrs of Otranto.

It's one of the most cute churches in Slovenia, standing on a panoramic hill above the Gorenjska plane. It was consecrated in 1523 and was long time a pilgrimage place. In the church there are valuable, old fresco paintings, It's interesting that behind the church there is a small karst hole which winds are indicating connections with a deeper cave. There some archaeological artefacts were found (also coins from antiquity), indicating a possible votive place.
Consecrated to the Assumption of Mary, the Cistercian monastery dates back to its foundation in 1240 by the Lords of Hohenfels and Ehrenfels. In the course of secularization in Bavaria, the monastery was dissolved in 1803. The monastery church became a parish church. In 1806, the Carmelite nuns from Munich and Neuburg on the Danube moved into the convent complex as their central monastery. In 1838, the Salesian Sisters bought the convent and established an institute for higher daughters there. This developed into a lyceum, which existed until 1980. From 1981 to 2013, Pielenhofen was home to the elementary school of the Regensburger Domspatzen with its adjoining boarding school.
In 2010, the convent was abandoned by the sisters for lack of personnel. The last five remaining sisters moved to the Zangberg convent. In 2013, the convent buildings were sold to the Herder School Association. The association now runs a secondary school and a technical college for design in the buildings. This garden belongs to the convent.
Das Maria Himmelfahrt geweihte Kloster der Zisterzienserinnen geht auf die Gründung 1240 durch die Herren von Hohenfels und von Ehrenfels zurück. Im Zuge der Säkularisation in Bayern wurde das Kloster 1803 aufgelöst. Die Klosterkirche wurde zur Pfarrkirche. 1806 bezogen die Karmelitinnen aus München und Neuburg an der Donau die Klosteranlage als ihr Zentralkloster. 1838 kauften die Salesianerinnen das Kloster und richteten darin ein Institut für Höhere Töchter ein. Daraus entwickelte sich ein Lyzeum, das bis 1980 bestand. Von 1981 bis zum Jahr 2013 war in Pielenhofen die Grundschule der Regensburger Domspatzen mit dem angeschlossenen Internat untergebracht.
Im Jahr 2010 wurde das Kloster von den Schwestern aus Personalmangel aufgegeben. Die letzten fünf noch verbliebenen Schwestern zogen in das Kloster Zangberg um. Im Jahr 2013 wurden die Klostergebäude an den Herder-Schulverein verkauft. Der Verein betreibt in den Gebäuden nun eine Realschule sowie eine Fachoberschule für Gestaltung.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The chapel, consecrated in 1617, is also part of the museum. It is the best preserved part of the Renaissance complex, having largely escaped damage in the 1859 fire. The chapel extends along the entire length of the west wing with a long nave and a two-storey gallery. The richly decorated six-vaulted stucco ceiling is borne by pillars rising from the galleries.
The pillars bear grisaille frescos of Biblical figures, painted in the 1690s. The galleries were decorated during the reign of Frederick III (1648–1670) as can be seen from his arms.
The Chapel's most significant artifact is the organ, built by Esajas Compenius in 1610. It was installed by Compenius himself shortly before his death in Hillerød in 1617. The oldest organ in Denmark, it has 1,001 wooden pipes. Its original manually driven blower has been preserved. The instrument is richly decorated with ebony, ivory and silver.
The altarpiece and pulpit from the early 17th century are the work of the silversmith Jacob Mores from Hamburg. In the king's prayer chamber adjoining the Chapel, there is a small silver altar crafted by the goldsmith Matthäus Wallbaum from Augsburg in 1600.
In 1208, a dispute between King John and the Pope meant that burials in consecrated ground were forbidden for about 6 years. During this time, the townspeople of Basingstoke buried their dead on the slope north of the town. Later, the ground was consecrated, and became the town’s burial ground for the next 700 years, until the new cemetery opened in Worting Road in 1913.
The first chapel was built by 1280, with a Guild of Townsmen to oversee the site and collect offerings of money and land, left as bequests in return for prayers for life after death. What we see of the earlier chapel today is part of the west wall.
This photo shows the distinctive remains, tower and window arches of another chapel, added to the original one and built around 1525 by William Lord Sandys of The Vyne as a grand burial place for his parents and family [see Ian Richard’s Flashback, Gazette 10/12/2020]. The chapel was widely known for its great beauty, for its roof and above all for its painted glass windows. It was dedicated to the Holy Trinity. Sandys’ family emblems are visible on the parapet and grave slabs. These include the hemp-breaker and cross raggulé.
Why did it fall into ruin? In the 1540s, Sandys’ chapel was caught up in the English Reformation, which saw the closure of all chantry chapels. Statues and other items used in worship were removed in what must have been a puzzling time for people. After the death of Edward VI, his sister Mary revived Catholic worship. In 1556 a charter was drawn up by Queen Mary, which established a school in the chapel. The schoolroom was attached to the west wall of the early chapel. Known as Queen Mary’s School, it survived as Queen Mary’s Grammar School for Boys and then, with comprehensive education, the name and endowment moved to Queen Mary’s College.

Skálholtskirkja sits in a historic complex at Skálholt in South Iceland. This church was built in 1961-63 on the same basic foundation as most of the ten previous chapels and cathedrals built at the site. The church honors the historic and religious dignificance of this site, which once was the capital of Iceland and, along with Hólar to the north, its religious center. Though some of the old wooden cathedrals were larger, the new Church is similar in size to the last two.
For over 700 years Skálholt was a center center of religion, culture and education in Iceland which makes it one of country´s most important historic sites. Norse settlers came to the area in the late 800s and early 900s (AD). In 1000 AD, New law mandated Christianity as the official religion of Iceland. The country’s first bishop, Ísleifur Gissurarson, ordained in 1056, made Skálholt the episcopal see of all Iceland (until another Episcopal see was created in Hólar in 1106 AD). Over the next 700 years several significant religious and cultural events would occur at Skálholt.
1- One of the most revered of the bishops residing at Skálholt duuring the middle ages was Þorlákur Þórhallsson (bishop 1178-1198), who became Iceland’s only saint.
2-For centuries after Bishop Þórhallsson’s death, people came on pilgrimage from all corners of Iceland to visit his relics in Skálholt.
3-During those medieval times, huge wooden cathedrals were built at Skálholt. These cathedrals drew many from across Iceland. Before the Reformation 32 Catholic Bishops sat at Skálholt.
4-During the mid 16th century, Icelanders, now under Danish rule, converted to Lutheranism.The Reformation came during turbulent times in Iceland. On November 7, 1550, Bishop Jón Arason along with his two sons, Björn and Ar, were beheaded at Skálholt. Arason who was the Bishop of Hólar had been the last remaining Catholic bishop in Iceland.
5-The translation of the Bible into Icelandic started in secrecy in a cow stall of Skálholt.
6-After the Reformation, one of the best known and most influential bishops of Skálholt was Brynjólfur Sveinsson (bishop 1639-1674), Highly respected for his learning, he collected old Icelandic manuscripts that help preserve history and the language. Under his direction, church members built a new wooden church at Skálholt, approximately the same size as the present Cathedral.
7-In all ten churches have stood at in Skálholt. Some measured larger and some smaller but all were built on the same basic foundations.
For centuries Skálholt was the actual capital of a rural society and the cultural and spiritual center of the country (together with Hólar in the North), figuring eminently in the cultural and church history. But after waning status of the bishop’s office, volcanic eruptions, a major earthquake and other disasters in the late 18th century the episcopal see and school were transferred to Reykjavík. Skálholt fell into disrepute.
In the mid-20th century Skálholt rose from ashes, due to its historical significance. The modern cathedral, consecrated in 1963, displays works of modern art, as well as for artifacts from previous churches on the site.

Orthodox Patriarchs of Constantinople and Bucharest consecrate Cathedral
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_People%27s_Salvation_Cathe...
The Cathedral was consecrated on 25 November 2018 by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew I, Patriarch Daniel of Romania and Metropolitan Chrysostomos (gr) of Patras from the Greek Orthodox Church.
The town was founded during the 12th century in several stages: bishop Gebhard von Würzburg consecrated the recently built Michael's church and installed the Michaelis market in 1156. Since the second half of the 12th century, the Heller coins were minted in Hall that were rather inferior yet replaced the better money, becoming a very widespread currency. A document of 1204 mentions Hall for the first time as a town; since 1280, the immediacy of supremacy remained uncontested that in the years before had been wrestled from the neighbouring Schenk von Limpurg clan.
Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian had to intervene into the internal affairs of the town in 1340, and he had to reform the structure of the council, the authoritative committee of the town's politics. From 1340 to 1512 it would consist now of twelve aristocrats, six middle-class citizens and eight craftsmen. As a result of the Great Discord from 1510 to 1512, the nobility of the town lost its supremacy. Subsequently, the council was dominated by a group of rather bourgeois, increasingly academically educated families that developed into a new upper class.

The Church of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God (other name is the Old Ascension Church) is a wooden Orthodox church in the city of Torzhok, Tver Region of Russia.
The first mention of the temple in the clerical record dates back to 1653. The wooden building was built on the right, high, bank of Tvertsa. The height of the temple is 34 meters. Since the temple was wooden, it was redone many times. In the 1780s, a foundation of white old stone was laid under the building (on one of them the year 1782 was knocked out). In 1783, the back roof was replaced by iron, in 1806 the porch was built, and in 1828 the head was redone. By 1854, the temple was dilapidated and it was decided to build a new stone one in return.
In the middle of the XIX century, parishioners decided to build a new stone Ascension Church near the wooden church. It was supposed to destroy the old church, and use the material from it in a new one or sell it in another parish. But the Archbishop of Tver Filofei (Uspensky) forbade the demolition of "such a wonderful church both in antiquity and in architecture." As a result, a new stone Ascension Church was built, in 1858 the warm Zosimo-Savvatievskaya church was demolished, but the old wooden Ascension Church remained standing.
However, the temple was not demolished, but was transferred to the Staritsky tract. By 1883, the temple was reconstructed and on October 5 it was re-consecrated in honor of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God.
In Soviet times, church services ceased in 1929. There was a plan to transfer the temple to the Museum of Wooden Architecture in Vasilevo near Torzhok.
In the mid-1970s and early 1980s, restoration and research work was carried out. In the 2000s, worship services resumed in the summer.
The temple preserved painting of the XVIII century, and in the lower tiers of the painting of the second half of the XIX century. In the ceiling of the upper tier is an octagonal niche with the image of the New Testament Trinity.

The parish church Saint Sebastian is the parish church of Ramsau nearby Berchtesgaden . It is consecrated to the saints Sebastian and Fabian. Particularly from the "Malerwinkel" with the Ramsauer Ache and the Ertlsteg in the foreground and the Reiteralpe in the background the church is a popular picture and photo motive.
It was built in 1512 under provost Gregor Rainer and was extended in 1692 in the baroque style. It has a tower with baroque onion shaped tower which is covered like the whole church with wooden shingles.
When I arrived the church it was bitter cold and almost dark and so the most photographed site from the "Malerwinkel" was already too dark to take a good photo. But as always I was looking for my perspective and view and so I went to the cemetery at the back of the church and realized a wonderful light from a big floodlight that illuminated not only St. Sebastian but also the cemetery with the graves and crosses and the beautiful snow hills in the front...
Die Pfarrkirche St. Sebastian ist die Pfarrkirche von Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden . Sie ist den Heiligen Sebastian und Fabian geweiht. Besonders vom Malerwinkel aus mit der Ramsauer Ache und dem Ertlsteg im Vordergrund und der Reiteralpe im Hintergrund ist die Kirche ein beliebtes Bild- und Fotomotiv.
Sie wurde 1512 unter Fürstpropst Gregor Rainer erbaut und 1692 im barocken Stil erweitert. Sie hat einen Turm mit barocken Zwiebelhauben, der wie die gesamte Kirche mit Holzschindeln gedeckt ist.
Als ich die Kirche erreichte, war es bitter kalt und schon fast dunkel und so war die meistfotografierte Ansicht vom Malerwinkel zu dunkel, um ein gutes Foto zu schießen...
Aber wie immer war ich eh auf der Suche nach meiner eigenen Perspektive, als ich das Scheinwerferlicht im Friedhof bemerkte, welches nicht nur St. Sebastian, sondern auch den Friedhof mit seinen Gräbern und Kreuzen und die schönen Schneehügel beleuchtete...
Das Asbach-Kloster ist ein ehemaliges Benediktinerkloster im bayerischen Rotthalmünster-Markt in Asbach.
Das dem heiligen Matthäus geweihte Kloster wurde vor 1091 von Christina, der Witwe des Grafen Gerold von Frauenstein und Ering, gegründet. Die Gründung fiel 1127 an Bischof Otto von Bamberg, der das Kloster einweihte.
Die Klosterkirche
Es wurde von 1771 bis 1780 im Stil des frühen Klassizismus unter Abt Rupert II. Bratsche (1775-1787) nach Plänen von François de Cuvilliés dem Jüngeren erbaut.
Asbach Monastery is a former Benedictine monastery in the Asbach district of the Rotthalmünster market in Bavaria.
The monastery consecrated to St. Matthew was founded before 1091 by Christina, the widow of Count Gerold von Frauenstein and Ering. Its foundation fell to Bishop Otto von Bamberg in 1127, who inaugurated the monastery.
The monastery church
It was built from 1771 to 1780 in the style of early classicism under Abbot Rupert II Viola (1775-1787) based on plans by François de Cuvilliés the Younger.
The first church, which had been destroyed, was later rebuilt and enlarged and was consecrated to Saint Peter, who was also the patron saint of the cathedral of Worms and of the diocese. From then on, the church was part of an influential chancel chapter, whose provost was also arch-deacon of Worms and held the clerical court between Heidelberg and Kirchheim/Neckar. The noblemen who made up the chapter were laymen, but lived temporarily in a kind of monastery community. During the 13th century a moral decline seemed to take place, which necessitated an energetic reform by dean Richard von Deidesheim. It was also he who, in 1269, began rebuilding St. Peter's church in the Gothic style for which he employed a civil engineer from France. Today the church of St. Peter of the Knights' Chapter in Wimpfen in the valley with its unique juxtaposition of Romanesque westwork and the Gothic chancel and south side with rich sculptural decoration, is one of the most valuable sacred buildings in the country.
In the shadow of this free chapter, the town in the valley developed quickly into a market town with walls, customs rights and fishing rights. The “Talmarkt” which takes place on the feast of Peter and Paul every year goes back to the beginning of the chapter, making it one of the oldest in Germany. From the 14th century onwards, the town distanced itself more and more from the chapter, but lost its finally achieved independence 100 years later, as the city on the hill, by now more powerful, subsumed it. The chapter itself remained free until its secularisation, which, as it was situated within the boundaries of Wimpfen, led to renewed controversies with the town authorities.
St. Luke’s and Christ Church
Christchurch Street, London, SW3 4AS
The church was consecrated in 1839 due to the expansion of London. Prior to this Chelsea was open countryside. The church was essentially for working class people employed in the many grand houses in the vicinity.
The church was built in the traditional style, The Nave, Aisles and a gallery over the Aisles. It had a large pulpit in the centre but no place for a choir. A bit austere.
The church was designed by Edward Blore a very well-known individual. He designed the main front of Buckingham Palace in 1846.
In 1876 the church was gifted firstly an organ from St Michael, Queenhithe and secondly the pulpit from an unknown city church. Both these were gifts from churches that were demolished due to reconstruction of the City. In 1890 there were alterations, the nave roof was completely rebuilt, and there was further renovation to the supporting pillars between aisles and the nave. Both the west and east ends of the church were extended. Finally the western gallery and most of the old pews were removed. New larger pews were installed.
It has some lovely windows; one particularly is designed from The Creation to honour William Wilberforce and the Earl of Shaftsbury with their efforts to bring social justice into the main stream of life.
Dalsfjord Church, in Volda municipality, was built in 1910 and consecrated the following year. It is a wooden long church with a striking red spire, designed by architect Niels Stockfleth Darre Eckhoff. The church was erected after the people of Dalsfjord gained their own parish, marking a milestone in local independence and community life.
The church stands beautifully by the fjord, continuing a centuries-long tradition of rural parish churches in Western Norway.
Was probably founded at the beginning of the 14th century.Although no documents bearing this out exist tuday,we do know that when the Chorch was first mentioned in 1346 it had alredy been consecrated for divine worship. It was dedicated to St.Peter and St.Paul.
St.Peter`s Church has a triple-aisled nave with transept and ambulatory.All of it is built in the so called Baltic Gotihic style. Its closest prototype would appear to be St.Mary`s Church at Lubeck.The exterior of the Church is distinguished by its flying buttresses and elegant arches soaring over aisle and ambulatory alike.The tower was given its present apperarance in 1890.Grouped around the main building are several additional erections.To the north of the tower lies the Baptistery or Merchant`s chapel (Krämarekapellet),beloning to the 15th century.To the south lies St.Anna`s chapel,built around 1500 and dedicated to the mother of the blessed Virgin Mary.

This neo-Byzantine basilica was built dedicated to the saint St. Thérèse of Lisieux in her home town. She lived 1873-1897, was beatified in 1923 and canonized in 1925 (and have you ever been inside a French church you will have seen her sculpture, she is very popular).
The work on the church was begun in 1929, and despite the financial hardships of the 1930s and the second world war the church was finished in 1954 (and consecrated in 1951). The church is a minor basilica, built by the architects Louis-Marie Cordonnier, Louis-Stanislas Cordonnier and Louis Cordonnier, can hold 4000 people and measures 105 x 65 metres with a maximum height of 90 metres (in other words, it's gigantic!). It is the second most popular pilgrimage site in France (the most popular being Lourdes).
Dies war ursprünglich ein 1508 geweihter Bau, der dann 1738 - 39 von Dominikus Zimmermann komplett umgestaltet wurde.
Wir sehen hier nur den oberen Teil mit seiner gerundeten Viereckkuppel mit den raumerweiternden vier Halbkonchen.
Die Kuppel gehört zum phantasievollsten und komplexesten was das schwäbische Rokoko entwickelt hat. Die gesamte Kapelle ist eine der Glanzleistungen von Dominikus Zimmermann. Ob der Bruder Johann Baptist Zimmermann die Fresken erstellt hat ist noch nicht gesichert; er war zumindest mit dem Altarblatt beteiligt.
This was originally a building consecrated in 1508, which was then completely redesigned by Dominikus Zimmermann in 1738 - 39.
We only see the upper part with its rounded square cuppola with the four semi-conchairs that extend the space.
The cupola is one of the most imaginative and complex things developed by the Swabian rococo. The whole chapel is one of the most brilliant achievements of Dominikus Zimmermann. Whether the brother Johann Baptist Zimmermann created the frescoes is not yet certain; he was at least involved with the altarpiece.
Il s'agissait à l'origine d'un bâtiment consacré en 1508, qui a ensuite été entièrement remanié par Dominikus Zimmermann en 1738 - 39.
Nous ne voyons ici que la partie supérieure avec son coupole quadrangulaire arrondie avec les quatre semi-conducteurs qui s'étendent dans l'espace.
Le coupole est l'une des choses les plus imaginatives et les plus complexes que le rococo souabe ait développées. La chapelle entière est l'un des chefs-d'œuvre de Dominikus Zimmermann. On ne sait pas encore si le frère Johann Baptist Zimmermann a créé les fresques ; il a au moins participé à la feuille d'autel.
