The Holy Trinity Church (Kościół Świętej Trójcy) in Nowy Korczyn, a village in southern Poland, was built between the years 1610 and 1634 in place of the former 15th century church of St. Elisabeth and St. Lawrence, which had gone up in flames in 1608.
The new church built in a mixed Gothic-Renaissance style was consecrated in 1659 by the Bishop of Cracow Andrzej Trzebnicki.
The church is remarkable for its western front with the main portal (1632) in the Mannerist style, Baroque high altar from 1692, vault decorated with stucco ornaments, and a fragment of late-Gothic triptych representing the Mourning of Christ.
A detached neo-Gothic bell tower was added in 1889.

Four of the churches in my part of town joined together to sing carols outside the local shops. We gave out sweets and leaflets with the times of the services over Christmas.
In the vicinity of Jelšava, an old mining village Rákoš hides a quiet church with unique Gothic paintings. The church was built on an elevated site in the northern part of the village under the slope of Železník Hill on top of which a castle of the Bubek Family was once standing.
The Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Trinity is an early Gothic single-nave building from the mid-13th century. It has still a Romanesque horseshoe-shaped apse and slotted Romanesque windows, but the entrance portal is already formed by a Gothic arch. The nave has a flat wooden painted ceiling from the end of the 17th century. In front of the church stands a Baroque brick belfry with a wooden superstructure.
Wall paintings from the last third of the 15th century cover the walls and the vault of the chancel and almost the entire northern wall of the nave. High-quality Italian fresco paintings can be seen, a piece of art ordered by the wealthy noblemen from the House of Bubek. Travelling through northern Italy in the service of King Louis the Great, they had an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the best works of Italian masters whom they brought to the Kingdom of Hungary to decorate churches in Plešivec, Štítnik, and Rákoš. The vault of the sanctuary depicts the Christ Pantocrator with angels, the four church fathers and the symbols of the Evangelists (Matthew – angel, Mark – lion, Luke – bull, and John – eagle). On the walls of the sanctuary, we can find prophets, apostles and three saint kings: Ladislaus, Stephen, and Emeric. In the window lining, there are figures of women saints: Catherine, Barbara, Elisabeth and Margaret of Hungary. One of the most interesting parts is the unconventional depiction of Christ standing in a grave held by Mother Mary. The scene is complemented with the figures of an angel and of St. John the Baptist. Figures of saints, prophets, a depiction of the ten virgins, a partially damaged figure of the Virgin Mary Protector and a very well-preserved sitting figure of God with three faces giving blessings are on the walls of the triumphal arch. This unusual way of portraying the Holy Trinity which has been later banned by the Trident Council for its striking resemblance to the pagan god Triglav, still appears in two other locations in Slovakia – Ochtiná (logo of the Gothic Route) and Žehra.
The northern wall of the nave is almost entirely covered with murals in three horizontal bands. The upper band depicts scenes from the St. Ladislaus legend, it shows lancer horse riders of the St. Ladislaus’s royal entourage at the forefront, in a dynamic moment of fight with the Cumans. The second and the third band below portray the Last Judgment with the central figure of Christ the Redeemer with angels and a number of saints on the sides. Right below them we can see open graves from which dead are rising. Archangel Michael divides them into two groups, the saved ones, who walk to the left towards the heaven‘s gate, and the damned ones, whose chains are bound by the devils to the gate of hell. The most recent of the paintings date back to the first half of the 15th century; they depict the Assumption of the Virgin, individual figures of saints and the Stigmatization of St. Francis. We have chosen the hand of St. Francis with a stigma as the logo of the church. On the outer southern wall of the church, fragments of the painting of Madonna and Child have been preserved. Since 1992, there have been intermittent renewal activities of the church taking place, during which the restoration of murals was included. Furniture is stored and it would be returned into the church, once the restoration works are finished.
Kendal Parish Church, also known as the Holy Trinity Church due to its dedication to the Holy Trinity, is the Anglican parish church of Kendal, Cumbria, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. Visitors to the church are struck by its size and the lightness of the interior. This lightness is due to the unusual construction of five aisles, separated by columns and allowing generous window area.
The nave is 800 years old and the other aisles have been added over the centuries so that, in its heyday, a congregation of 1100 was regularly accommodated.
Kościół Św. Trójcy (bonifratrów) przy ul. Krakowskiej.
The Holy Trinity church (The Hopitaller Order of St. John the Divine temple), the work of the famous architect Francisco Placidi, is one of the most beautiful baroque buildings in Krakow. It was consecrated by Krakow Bishop Franciszek Potkański in 1758. The side aisles were reduced to the row of chapels, opened wide and high to the central nave. The interior is enriched with moulding and polychromes. The vault is decorated with illusionist polychrome created by Josef Plitz of Holochov in the years 1757-1758.
Perhaps on the site of a Roman basilica, Holy Trinity has been a place of worship for over 1000 years.
It was in Bosham that King Canute is reputed to have tried to turn back the tide, and it was here his eight year old daughter drowned in the millstream sometime around 1080. Rumoured to have been buried in the church, in 1865 a small stone coffin was discovered, dating to the 11th century and containing the skeleton of a young girl of the right age. It can't be proved it is that of the princess, but she was reburied near the chancel arch where there is a small plaque.
Nearby another grave was discovered, that of a headless and legless body. King Harold's close connection to the church has led to speculation that it might be he, but exhumation has been discounted as there is now no way to prove the identity either way.

The Church of the Holy Trinity in North Malvern, Worcestershire, England is an Anglican church built in 1850–51 with money raised by subscription. Designed by the Victorian architect Samuel Daukes, with a number of additions made between 1872 and 1909, the church was given a Grade II heritage listing in 2008. Holy Trinity Church remains a functioning place of worship. Wikipedia
Holy Trinity church, Bordesley, Birmingham; a splendid example of late Georgian gothic revival, built in 1820-2 by Francis Goodwin, the overall form much inspired by King's College Chapel Cambridge, with a hint of Peterborough in the deep arched recess of the west facade.
Sadly the church closed in the early 1980s, and has been struggling with new uses ever since, which has led to the subdivision of the interior. The church is very much fenced off and padlocked shut, and wearing a sorry air of abandonment about it.

Built in 1865 in Victorian Carpenter Gothic style, the former Holy Trinity Church of England can be found on a rise along Morses Creek Road in the little alpine town of Wandiligong. Built of weatherboard it is a charming example of wooden churches built all over Australia in little country towns. Unusually, it features Elizabethan loopy bargeboard gingerbreading. It is unpretentious and looks like a picturesque country village church, nestled into its surrounds which are full of tall elm trees and surrounded by a pretty white picket fence. The church was last used as a place of worship in the mid 1960s. Originally containing rather ornate stained glass which has subsequently been replaced with plain glass windows, the former Holy Trinity Church of England has since been converted into a residence, named McKenzie. Although an extension with skylights has been put at the rear of the building, the designs are sympathetic with the original 1865 building and are not visible from Morses Creek Road.
Victorian Carpenter Gothic style emerged where timber was the mail building material or where transport and portability were considerations, and most buildings were simplified versions of Victorian Gothic buildings, although some did have very beautifully ornamental wooden gingerbreading and fretwork.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
Tansley lies 2 miles from Matlock on the A615 Matlock to Alfreton road in Derbyshire. It is a rural village with just over 1,000 names on the voter’s register. Years ago, the main occupations were farming and quarrying although there were cotton mills in the nearby Lumsdale Valley. Today, there are no more working mills and quarries but there are many light industries with six garden centres within half a mile of the village!
Holy Trinity Church stands on a slight rise near the centre of the village and was built in 1839 and consecrated in 1840.

The city of Karakol (meaning black wrist) in Kyrgyzstan was founded on 1 July 1869 by the Russians. It was called Przewalsk, after the russian explorer Nikolai Przewalski, who died here and is buried nearby. The cathedral was built in 1895, but in Bolshevik times, the church lost its domes and became a club in the 1930s. Services are held here again now.

Various views from the grounds of the Holy Trinity Monastery in St. David, Arizona, during a visit in November 2002.
Possibly built on the site of a Roman Basilica, Holy Trinity retains much of its pre-Norman Conquest architecture especially in its tower and spectacular chancel arch which famously appears in the Bayeux Tapestry.
Holy Trinity Church in Apperley, Gloucestershire, is a "Chapel of Ease" to the main parish church at nearby Deerhurst. It was built in 1856 by Henry Eustatius Strickland, of Apperley Court, primarily to save the villagers from having to endure the walk to Deerhurst in bad winter weather.

PS. Enough landscapes. Enough colour shots. I was looking for a while, but finally found a BW shot of people. I miss this type of photography. A lot! Hopefully on the next trip, I can take a few more shots like this one...

Vác, Hungary. After the plague of 1740-41, in the hope of protection from further diseases, the city dedicated a column to the Trinity and raised a chapel named after Saint Rókus beside the cemetery where the victims of the plague were buried. In 1745 the Piarist Church was consecrated.
---
Settlement in Vác dating as far back as the Roman Empire has been found.
Bishops from the diocese were influential within the Kingdom of Hungary, with many serving as chancellors or later becoming archbishops.
The town was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1541. During the Habsburg Monarchy's wars against the Ottomans, the Austrians won victories against the Turks at Vác in 1597 and in 1684.
During the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence of 1848-49, the Honvédség routed the Austrian forces stationed in the city after a major battle (April 10, 1849); the Second Battle of Vác ended in Russian victory (July 17).

I'm sure this photo has been taken hundreds of times, but I couldn't resist. The scenery was majestic. Holy Trinity Monastery overlooking Kalambaka city, and the mountains. What a tremendous effort to build up there at a time when there was no electricity or other modern construction equipment. Meteora, Greece.
A lot of the Columbus & Chattahoochee main looks like this piney-woods scene at Holy Trinity (yes, there really is a place named Holy Trinity in Alabama) and leads to only a few good spots that aren't in the middle of a tree tunnel. However, for the most part those few good spots are nicely spaced out to still allow for a nice chase on the rare occasions of a daylight run.
Holy Trinity Church, a Russian Orthodox church in Karakol.
The first church in Karakol, built when the city was founded, in 1869. Its purpose was to serve the troops stationed in Karakol, which it did until it was destroyed in an earthquake in 1889. A new wooden church was built on the same spot over the course of six years, and was consecrated in 1895.
Upon its completion, the spire of the new Holy Trinity Church was the tallest building in Karakol, at 26m tall. The church was active until 1917, when it became property of the state, and was used as everything from a theater to warehouse. In 1947, the church started holding services again, but in the 1960s was again used for other purposes.
After independence in 1991, the building was returned to church authorities, who started repairs and reconstructions for the damaged interior and exterior.
