The charming church in the village of Bladon, Oxfordshire (the 2011 census shows 898 inhabitants in Bladon). The church is not medieval but 19th century.
The village had a church dating to the 11 or 12 century, but that one was demolished in 1802 and a couple of years later, this church was finished. It was then completely rebuilt in 1891 in the Gothic revival style (after plans by the architect Arthur Blomfield).
The burials of the Churchills (including Winston and his wife Clementine) can be found behind the church.

On a hill in the northeastern part of the Old Town looms this massive Gothic church, Quito's largest, built over several decades beginning in 1892. Rather than gargoyles, turtles and iguanas protrude from the church’s side. The highlight is the basilica’s towers, which you can climb if you have the nerve – the ascent requires crossing a rickety wooden plank inside the main roof and climbing steep stairs and ladders (with solid handrails) to the top.

The Basilica of the National Vow (Spanish: Basílica del Voto Nacional) is a Roman Catholic church located in the historic center of Quito, Ecuador.
It is the largest neo-Gothic basilica in the Americas.

Essentially the Basilica del Voto Nacional is an attraction in Quito, Ecuador, that has not yet been completed. If asked, locals will tell visitors about the legend that once construction on the Basilica del Voto Nacional is completed in full, it is believed that the world will come to an end. But after a hundred years of construction, the fact that it is technically incomplete is of no concern, as it is one of the most breathtaking structures in all Ecuador.
Constructed on San Juan Hill, the Basilica del Voto Nacional looms over the city and can be seen from anywhere in Quito. This breathtaking Catholic Church was the idea of Father Julio Maria Matovelle, and after years of persuasion, a design was commissioned from Emilio Tarlier, a French architect, who also oversaw construction. Inspired by a wonderful cathedral that was built in Bourges, Tarlier began drawing up the plans in 1890, which they alone took six years to complete. On 10 July 1892, construction work on the Basilica del Voto Nacional begun, to become the biggest gothic cathedral in Latin America.
The church structure is a hundred and fifty meters in length, thirty-five meters in height and thirty-five meters in width. The votive chapels are fifteen meters in height with the dome at seventy three-meters and the towers being more than a staggering seventy-eight meters. Some visitors, who are not afraid of heights, are welcome to climb all the way up onto the roof of the building to enjoy a hundred and seventeen meter panoramic view of the city below. For those who are not thrilled by the outlook of climbing hundreds of stairs will be relieved to know that there is a lift available inside the main church tower. On the outside of the church visitors will see a variety of gargoyles that have been created through inspiration found in the animals of Ecuador, featuring iguanas, tortoises and armadillos. Entrance fees to a few parts of the church is asked, but this gives visitors access to a large portion of the church, including the twenty four chapels, clock tower and bell tower. Refreshments can be enjoyed on the third floor of the church after exploring the beauty and magnificence of the Basilica del Voto Nacional.

In Quito, a full-length bronze monument was erected in García Moreno Square, which is located in front of the National Vow Basilica, built on the occasion of the consecration of Ecuador to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which took place during his second presidency.

I have been living in Vienna since October 2009, but today was the first time I saw the Votivkirche without scaffolding.
"The Votivkirche [...] is a neo-Gothic style church located on the Ringstraße in Vienna [...]. Following the attempted assassination of Emperor Franz Joseph in 1853, the Emperor's brother Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian inaugurated a campaign to create a church to thank God for saving the Emperor's life. Funds for construction were solicited from throughout the Empire. The church was dedicated in 1879 on the silver anniversary of Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife Empress Elisabeth. [...]
The church plans were established in an architectural competition in April 1854. [...] The jury choose the project of Heinrich von Ferstel (1828–1883), who, at the time, was only 26. He chose to build the cathedral in the neo-Gothic style, borrowing heavily from the architecture of Gothic French cathedrals."

Altarpiece in the Catholic parish church of St. Elisabeth in Wieden, Vienna's 4th district
The neo-Gothic church was consecrated in 1868. The nine-metre tall high altar, of which you can see a detail here, is made of oak, richly carved and completely gilded. Like the entire interior, it was designed by the architect Josef Lippert. The altarpiece is by the painter Franz Josef Dobiaschofsky.

Our cruise ship docked here, giving us this amazing view of this amazing building. Built—like almost everything else—in 1896 to celebrate the 1000 year anniversary of Budapest, it housed the Parliament of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and is now much bigger than Hungary needs.
Honestly, I had vastly more time and got many more and better photos on the previous visit:

I’ll mostly aim to post non-redundant photos. Mostly.
Initialement gothique, puis néo-classique et pour finir néo-gothique pendant l'ère prussienne, cette façade a déchainé les passions durant plusieurs siècles.
En effet, comme la grande partie du chantier, ce fut lorsque la mode était au style gothique que cette face fut réalisée.
Mais un certain Blondel (qui avait proposé de refaire toute la place Kléber de Strasbourg (pour au final ne faire que l'Aubette)) en plus de refaire la place d'arme adjacente (et ainsi revenir au même niveau que la place Stanislas de Nancy (le Derby existait déjà à l'époque), propose également au milieu du XVIIIe de refaire ce portail Sud avec le style à la mode en France à l'époque : le néoclassique (car oui le gothique n'avait clairement plus la côte).
Évidemment, quand la ville vint dans le giron germanique, cette entrée aux influences françaises ne plut pas du tout aux autorités d’outre-Rhin. Il faudrait plutôt quelque chose de romantique, de médiéval pour rendre ça poétique. Ils demandèrent donc à Paul Tornow de jouer avec les clichés et les connaissances de l'époque dans un style historiciste se rapprochant de beaucoup au final au néo-gothique s'étant propagé dans le monde occidental durant le XIXe siècle jusqu'à la première guerre mondiale.
Au final, on est resté là dessus, ça n'a pas raviver de revanche.

Architecture of St Simon's Church combines the Romanesque and Gothic styles. The church boasts15th-16th century burial plaques of the city's notables, a pipe organ built in 1886 by a well-known European organ builder Friedrich Ladegast, and paintings on the pulpit and the organ loft made back in 1730. The church tower accommodates an exhibition space, and the viewing platform overlooks the panorama of Valmiera.
St Simon's Church of Valmiera was built on a steep bank of the River Gauja in 13th century. There exist rather reliable records to the fact that the construction of St Simon's Church began in 1283. It is believed that the church's name is related to its consecration on the Day of Sts Simon and Jude (in Latvian - Simjūda diena), 28 October. The building was damaged during wars and in fires.
Originally, St Simon's Church hosted a Catholic congregation. In 1554 in Valmiera, freedom to pursue Lutheran faith in Livonia was proclaimed that restricted clashes between Catholics and the adherents of the new faith.
In 1964 St Simon's congregation was forced to move to the new Baptist house of prayer, as the church came to accommodate a museum. The congregation returned to the building in 1988, but the ownership rights were legally restored only in 1996.
In the second half of the 19th century, the organ built by Friedrich Ladegast, with 33 stops, 3 manuals, 1 pedal, and a Neogothic facade was installed in the church. The instrument is a specimen of a Romantic organ, and ranks among the best in Latvia.
The Hungarian Parliament Building (Országház) is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary. It is situated in Kossuth Square, in the Pest side of the city and on the banks of the Danube. It is currently the largest building in Hungary. It was designed by Hungarian architect Imre Steindl in neo-Gothic style and opened in 1902

Accessibility: the domain is open to the public, the castle itself is not accesible
The Ryckevelde domain is situated at the border of the village of Sijsele, in the direction of Bruges. It is the largest wood on the territory of Damme. Here we are no longer in the polder area but in the sandy region. This region is by defenition much older than the rest of Damme. The area around Ryckevelde was already inhabited in prehistoric times.
The castle itself is fairly recent and is in a pretty good shape. The neogothic architecture already reveals the era in which it was built. Baron Gilles de Pélichy ordered its construction; the residence was erected between 1913 and 1929. Centrally the spiky tower catches the attention, a chapel is located in the left wing. At the back side there is a spacious garden with a big pond. from one of the numerous benches along the footpath you have a splendid view on the ensemble.
The oldest building of the domain is situated at the other side of the pond. The fortified farm dates back to the 17th century but is largely in a very bad condition except for the right side. This farm has a few remarkable characteristics you'd rather expect in a real castle. At the domain, friar Verleye founded the European Education centre in the 50's of the previous century.
The basilica arose from the idea, proposed by father Julio Matovelle in 1883, of building a monument as a perpetual reminder of the consecration of Ecuador to the Sacred Heart. President Luis Cordero issued the decree on July 23, 1883, and it was carried out by president José María Plácido Caamaño on March 5, 1884. The congress, in accordance with the year's budget, designated 12,000 pesos for the construction - 1,000 pesos per month, beginning in 1884. By the decree of July 3, 1885, the fourth Quitense Provincial Council turned the construction of the basilica into a religious commitment in the name of the country. In 1887, the Issodum Fathers began construction for five years, with the approval of Pope Leo XIII. The Oblato fathers donated the land for the basilica. To continue construction, donations were accepted from believers, who provided stones in exchange for engraving their names on them. In 1895, the state established a tax on salt to continue the building.
In 1901, Father Matovelle and his Community of Missionary Monks, took charge of the construction at the request of Archbishop Pedro Rafael González Calisto. The building was designed by architect Emilio Tarlier at the cost of 40,000 French francs. Tarlier was inspired by the Bourges Cathedral. On July 10, 1892, the first stone was placed. Between 1892 and 1909, the Heart of Mary Cathedral was constructed. The basilica was blessed by Pope John Paul II on January 30, 1985, and it was consecrated and inaugurated on July 12, 1988.
The basilica remains technically "unfinished." Local legend says that when the Basílica is completed, the end of the world will come.

Church of Jesus' Sacred Heart Church is in the historical centre of the town of Koszeg. It is a fine example of Gothic Revival architecture.
The Sassenpoort (English: Sassen gate) is a gatehouse in the citywall of Zwolle, Netherlands. It was built in 1409 out of dimension stone, mostly trachyte and tuff, and restoration work was done in 1893-1898. The gatehouse is a rijksmonument and
is part of the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites.
History
The city of Zwolle experienced her highdays during the 15th century. It became
a member of the Hanseatic League in 1407, and the city gates represent the wealth of this period.
In 1893 the city government of Zwolle gave the Sassenpoort to the Dutch national government, as location to
store the national archives. A function the building no longer serves. The building remains to this day
property of the national government.
Building
In the period between 1893 and 1898 restoration work took place. The dormers were made, and a
neogothic spire clock tower was installed, replacing an earlier 18th century spire. In between the corner towers is
a machicolation. From holes in the floor of this outer work, boiling oil could be thrown at enemies.
The gatehouse is a rijksmonument since 13 February 1967 and is part of the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites.
The national building service classifies the gate as "category I". This category contains monuments of
which ownership and preservation by the state is considered of extraordinary cultural historic importance. In order to
prevent damage by exhaust gasses, driving under the gate has been prohibited since 2010. The gate now serves as a pedestrian road.
In 2006 TPG Post brought out a stamp in the series Mooi Nederland (beautiful Netherlands) with an image of the Sassenpoort.
La Neue Oberpostdirektion, direction des Postes, aujourd’hui hôtel des Postes, est un édifice de style néoroman, construit à Metz en 1905 par les autorités allemandes. Située place du Général-de-Gaulle, face à la gare, la poste centrale est un fleuron architectural du quartier impérial de Metz.
Sous l’Empire allemand comme à l’époque française, Metz se voit attribuer une fonction avant tout militaire. La ville, vitrine de l’architecture française au XVIIIe siècle, se développe et se transforme sous l’action des autorités germaniques qui décident à leur tour de faire de son urbanisme une vitrine de l’empire wilhelmien. L’éclectisme architectural se traduit par l’apparition de nombreux édifices de style néoroman tels le temple Neuf, la nouvelle gare ferroviaire ou la poste centrale ; de style néogothique tels le portail de la cathédrale ou le temple de Garnison ; ou encore de style néorenaissance tel le palais du Gouverneur. L’emplacement de la poste, juste à côté de la gare, est choisi pour des raisons logistiques, la rapidité d’acheminement du courrier étant capitale en cas de conflit (source Wikipédia).

The Neue Oberpostdirektion, Direction des Postes, today the Hôtel des Postes, is a neo-Romanesque building, built in Metz in 1905 by the German authorities. Located on Place du Général-de-Gaulle, opposite the station, the central post office is an architectural jewel of the imperial district of Metz.
Under the German Empire, as in the French era, Metz was given a primarily military function. The city, a showcase of French architecture in the 18th century, developed and changed under the action of the Germanic authorities who in turn decided to make its town planning a showcase of the Wilhelminian empire. The architectural eclecticism is reflected in the appearance of many neo-Romanesque buildings such as the New Temple, the new railway station or the central post office; neogothic style such as the portal of the cathedral or the Garrison temple; or again in neo-Renaissance style such as the Governor's Palace. The location of the post office, right next to the station, was chosen for logistical reasons, the speed of mail delivery being essential in the event of a conflict (source Wikipedia).

A relatively new addition to the Quito skyline, and now one of its most striking landmarks, is the Basilica del Voto Nacional, or simply "the Basilica." Consecrated in 1988 (though still technically unfinished), the church stands on a steep hill to the northeast of the Centro Histórico and can be seen from almost everywhere in the city, particularly at night when it is illuminated, beacon-like, in bright green and blue.
The highlight of a visit here is undoubtedly the climb up the tower, which offers several vantage points along the way. The first flight of stone stairs leads to a balcony where you can look down on the nave, its stone arches mottled in the bright colors of the stained glass windows. The second flight leads up to a southern viewpoint with a telescope, offering a close-up inspection of some of the old town’s other landmarks, including the Virgin perched on the Panecillo opposite. From here you have to head down a tenuous-looking (though perfectly safe) causeway and exposed iron ladder to get to the top. If you can manage it, you will be rewarded with excellent views that, on a clear day, stretch for miles over both the new and old parts of the city—something even the Panecillo can’t claim.

Cambusnethan House (or Priory) in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Generally regarded as the best remaining example of a James Gillespie Graham designed country house in the quasi-ecclesiastical style of the Gothic Revival completed in 1820.
There is a tenuous link to William Finnemund, the 12th century, Laird of Cambusnethan but the last use of the building was as a hotel and restaurant. Use ceased in 1984 and the building was subsequently subject to vandalism, fire and decay.
A team called "Friends of Cambusnethan Priory" was established in 2014 with the aim of saving the property from further deterioration and someone is there almost every day. This was the best I could manage without a tilt-shift lens.
