This is the Maison du Roi, located in Brussels' Grand Place. Interestingly, despite its name, no king ever lived there; it served as an administrative office. The current building is a 19th-century reconstruction with neo-Gothic details, housing the Museum of the City of Brussels, where you’ll find the Manneken Pis costume collection. Fun fact: during the Middle Ages, the site was actually a bread market before becoming an administrative center. While its ornate façade amazes visitors today, its simple origins don’t take away from its beauty—they just make it even more intriguing.

Holy Mother of consolation Parish Church - It's the biggest church in Żyrardów. It was founded by the Sobański Family and Karol Dittrich and built from 1900 to 1903. It was designed in neogothic style and it's standing on the central square of my hometown. The church was patterned on Koln Basilica (eightfold lowered) and it has two 70 meters tall towers. The interior is decorated with the flowery motifs of stain glass windows made by Franciszek Białkowski according to the design attributed to Józef Mehoffer. The church furnishings refer to the gothic style.
Żyrardów - small town in Central Poland, located in the Mazovia region. It owes its unique atmosphere to the characteristic architecture of an industrial town. The original spatial layout of the community, which grew around a manufacturing plant in the mid-19th century, has been preserved to the present day. The historic center of Żyrardów (mostly buildings from red bricks) is the only industrial architecture complex from the turn of the 20th c. in Europe that has been preserved to modern times in full. The old settlement covers a 76-ha area in the central part of the town. Diversified architectural forms and styles characterize the city, which has resulted from the multi-cultural character of Żyrardów. The flax trade gave the town its origins. A plant manufacturing flax that was one of the largest and modern factories in Europe was established there in 1829. Karol Dittrich and Karol Hielle, two industrialists from Germany, founded the plant. The town derives its name from the first technical director of the plant, Philip de Girard who, among others, invented a mechanical flax-spinning machine.

Główny plac w Żyrardowie udekorowany na Wielkanoc, pstryknięty z diabelskiego młyna. W tle kościół Matki Bożej Pocieszenia a wokół niego XIX-wieczne domy z czerwonej cegły dla pracowników fabryki :)
Kościół Farny pw. Matki Bożej Pocieszenia - zbudowany w centrum miasta, w latach 1900 - 1903 z fundacji rodziny Sobańskich i Karola Dittricha. Zaprojektowany przez Józefa Piusa Dziekońskiego w stylu neogotyckim. Kościół wzorowany był na bazylice w Kolonii (ośmiokrotnie pomniejszony), posiada dwie strzeliste 70-cio metrowe wieże. We wnętrzu znajdują się piękne secesyjne witraże przedstawiające kwiaty polskie (słoneczniki, maki, chabry, lilie, malwy i chryzantemy), wykonane w pracowni Franciszka Białkowskiego, prawdopodobnie według projektu Józefa Mehoffera. Wyposażenie kościoła utrzymane jest w stylu gotyckim.
Żyrardów leży w centrum Polski, na Mazowszu. Swój niepowtarzalny klimat zawdzięcza charakterystycznej architekturze miasta zaprojektowanej w połowie XIX stulecia. Zabytkowe centrum Żyrardowa jest jedynym w Europie zachowanym w całości zespołem urbanistyczno-architektonicznym miasta przemysłowego przełomu XIX i XX wieku. Osada fabryczna obejmuje centralną część miasta o powierzchni ok. 76 ha. Charakteryzuje ją różnorodność form architektonicznych i stylów, co wynika ze zróżnicowania narodowościowego mieszkańców Żyrardowa. Początek miastu dała fabryka lniarska, która powstała na terenie dzisiejszego Żyrardowa w 1829 roku. Była to jedna z największych i najnowocześniejszych fabryk ówczesnej Europy. Została założona przez dwóch przemysłowców z Niemiec: Karola Dittricha i Karola Hielle. Żyrardów zawdzięcza swą nazwę pierwszemu dyrektorowi technicznemu fabryki, Philipowi de Girard. Był on m.in. wynalazcą maszyny do mechanicznego przędzenia lnu.
La catedral de Wawel, amb el nom complet de basílica de la catedral de Sant Estanislau i Sant Wenceslau, és el santuari nacional de Polònia a la ciutat de Cracòvia. Té una història de 1.000 anys i era el lloc de coronació tradicional dels monarques polonesos. És la seu de l'arxidiòcesi de Cracòvia.
La catedral es troba sobre el turó de Wawel, que protegeix també el castell reial. Durant segles, Wawel va ser el centre del poder eclesiàstic i monàrquic de Polònia.
La primera catedral, de la qual els vestigis són relativament poc nombrosos, va ser construïda després de la institució del bisbat a Cracòvia el 1000. Destruïda aproximadament uns 150 anys més tard, va ser reedificada en la primera meitat del segle xii. La catedral va ser incendiada el 1305. El rei Ladislau I de Polònia va decidir reconstruir-la en estil gòtic. Va ser també el primer monarca coronat i enterrat en aquesta catedral.
Els reis i bisbes de Polònia anaren modificant aquesta catedral, les seves capelles i la seva decoració, al llarg de la història, conforme als estils i als gusts de l'època.
Avui, la catedral és un dels monuments històrics polonesos més importants. És inscrita (junt amb tot el centre històric de Cracòvia) en la llista del patrimoni de la Humanitat de la UNESCO.
The Wawel Cathedral (Polish: Katedra Wawelska), formally titled the Royal Archcathedral Basilica of Saints Stanislaus and Wenceslaus,(Polish: Królewska Bazylika Archikatedralna śś. Stanisława i Wacława na Wawelu) is a Catholic cathedral situated on Wawel Hill in Kraków, Poland. Nearly 1000 years old, it is part of the Wawel Castle Complex and is a national sanctuary which served as the coronation site of Polish monarchs.
The current Gothic cathedral is the third edifice on this site; the first was constructed and destroyed in the 11th century and the second one, constructed in the 12th century, was destroyed by a fire in 1305. The construction of the existing church began in the 14th century on the orders of Bishop Nanker. Over time, the building was expanded by successive rulers resulting in its versatile and eclectic architectural composition. There are examples of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical and Neogothic elements in the cathedral's façade and interior. The exterior is adorned by side chapels and representative mausoleums, most notable being the golden-domed Sigismund's Chapel.
It is the official seat of the Archbishop of Kraków and of the Archdiocese of Kraków. A symbol of Polish statehood and faith, the cathedral hosts important religious events and annual celebrations. Karol Wojtyła, who in 1978 became Pope John Paul II, the day after his ordination to the priesthood offered his first Mass as a priest at the Wawel Crypt on 2 November 1946, and was ordained Kraków's auxiliary bishop in the cathedral on 28 September 1958.[1]
It is the oldest Gothic town hall in all of Tuscany and a model for many others, such as the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.

La filature Levavasseur de 1857 dans l'Eure, abandonnée entre Pont-Saint-Pierre et Radepont après plusieurs incendies. Située au bord de l'Andelle, il faut escalader la colline à travers la forêt pour atteindre ce point de vue.
The Levavasseur spinning mill, built in 1857, was left abandoned after several fires. 35 minutes from Rouen, you have to climb the hill through the forest to reach this point of vue.
Located at The Hill, here in Newcastle, dominating the skyline and visible from many locations in our city....Christ Church Cathedral is a Gothic Revival goliath.
I particularly enjoy attending organ recitals here.
Also known as The Cathedral Church of Christ the King, it is an Anglican place of holy worship and has been an important place for pilgrims and visitors for over 190 years.
I learned that it is 72.5m in length, 26.5m in width and 36.5m high. It contains 160 windows, 72 of which are filled with beautiful stained glass.
The grounds have been the site of at least one other church: Christ Church, built in 1817–18.
It was exactly 100 years from the beginning of construction to consecration and the principal architect was John Horbury Hunt. His plans were drawn up around 1868.

Los castillos de Valderas son dos edificios de fantasía neogótica construidos en el año 1917, encargados por los marqueses de Valderas. El castillo principal, de inspiración sajona, acoge actualmente el Museo del Vidrio. El edificio pequeño por su parte estaba destinado a la servidumbre.
Ubicados en un parque, a su lado se ha construido el CREAA, Centro de Creación de las Artes, un gran complejo de arquitectura de vanguardia, muy polémico por su elevado coste.
The tallest tower, known as the "Tower of the Condors", which is 115 meters high, and instead of gargoyles it has only condors, since they need at least this height to be able to fly in. This detail is highly representative , since the condor is the national bird of Ecuador and is crowning its national shield, just like this temple crowns. At the highest point of the main tower you can see most of the city and the mountains that surround it.

Kapelica sv. Jurja je neogotička crkvica izgrađena 1864. godine u parku Maksimir u Zagrebu. U njoj je nadbiskup Juraj Haulik, tvorac i oblikovatelj parka Maksimir, želio biti pokopan.
Kapelica sv.Jurja (St. George) is neogothic church, built in the year 1864 in Maksimir park in Zagreb. Archbishop Juraj Haulik, creator and landscaper of Maksimir Park, wished to be buried there.
The imposing facade of Saint Peter and Paul Church, a neo-Gothic church in Ostend, Belgium, stands tall against a dramatic sky filled with dark clouds. The church's intricate stonework, twin spires, and large rose window are illuminated by the sunlight filtering through the clouds.
Ad ovest, fuori del paese, si trova una originale struttura dalla forma a cuore, adagiata sulla collinetta della "Vignuzza", che riproduce il Monte Calvario con le tre croci. Presenta una pianta a forma di cuore che rende ancor più movimentato l'andamento sinuoso del recinto murario in cui sono ricavate le stazioni della Via Crucis.Costruito probabilmente nel Cinquecento (ad eccezione dell'edicola neogotica retrostante il cancello d'ingresso), fu nel Seicento sede di fastose drammatizzazioni della "Passione di Cristo".
Ogni anno il giorno della domenica delle Palme viene effettuata la "Via Crucis vivente", mentre il Venerdì Santo vengono portate in processione le statue dei Santi.
To the west, outside the country, is an original structure from the heart shape, situated on the hill of "Vignuzza", which reproduces the Mount Calvary with three crosses. It has a plant in the shape of heart that makes it even more exciting, the sinuous course of the wall fence where are obtained the Stations of the Crucis.Costruito probably in the sixteenth century (except newsstand neogothic behind the entrance gate), was in Six hundred home to lavish dramatizations of the "Passion of Christ".
Every year on the day of Palm Sunday is carried out "Via Crucis", while the Good Friday are carried in procession the statues of the saints.
The flagship church in the neighborhood
The church of Saint-Michel-de-Sillery is one of the great monuments of the neighborhood and certainly its figurehead. Built on Pointe à Puiseaux, a promontory that advances towards the river, it serves as a geographical landmark for miles around. This place of Catholic worship also occupies a major place in the Silleroise community, of which it was long and the heart.
The Chapel
In 1847, the Catholics of Sillery were far from the places of worship of Sainte-Foy and Quebec. They take steps to obtain a priest, at least Sundays and holidays. But the diocese of Quebec rather proposes to establish a real chapel served by a resident priest.
The site is essential: it will be the summit of the Pointe à Puiseaux, which corresponds to the geographic center of the Linear Punidal Punida. Merchant Patrick McCrinenly is willing to sell land there and his villa. The latter became in June 1847 the Saint-Richard chapel.
An Irish work
The first parish priest, Peter Henry Harkin, is original Irish, like the majority of the population. As soon as he arrived in Sillery, he notes that the chapel is too small for a growing community. In 1850, he obtained the authorization to build a church from the Archdiocese of Quebec.
The architect chosen, Goodlatte Richardson Browne, is a compatriot. He draws the plans of a neogothic style building, in Sillery sandstone, whose portal will face the St. Lawrence. The work placed under the supervision of an Irish entrepreneur took place from fall 1852 to November 1854. The church and the parish, erected the following year, was dedicated to Saint Colomba, one of the saints of Ireland Irish , whose name is translated by that of Saint Columbus.
What is city. What an ambience. What a beautiful place to be. For a short while we switched from the cold and misty Deventer for a sunny and warmer Barcelona. Feeling one with Antoni Gaudí , Carlos Ruiz Zafón and Pablo Picasso.
Charging our batteries after a turbulent 2021.

The Château d'Abbadia, also Château d'Abbadie, is a neogothic château situated in Hendaye, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France. Built by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and Edmond Duthoit, both patronized by the explorer Antoine d'Abbadie, between 1864 and 1879, it is classified as a historic monument and "Maison des Illustres". The scientific collections, archives and furniture are all authentic and make up a considerable cultural heritage of the 19th century.
A visit to De Haar is a journey of discovery to a marvellous world. There are only a few castles in Europe that have the same ideal image of a medieval fortress with towers and ramparts, with canals, gates and drawbridges. The castle was entirely restored and partially rebuilt in the late 19th century and it rises like a fairy-tale castle from a park with impressive trees, surrounded by old gardens and ponds. Yet this enchanting oasis of harmony and peace is not far from the daily bustle of the city of Utrecht. The unique complex has something to offer for everyone: young and old, the knowledgeable art lover and the casual visitor. De Haar is an unusual and fascinating mixture of the medieval and the modern comforts of the late 19th century.
The House at the Czech Eagle, or Bubnovský House, is a terraced townhouse at No. 567/I, built in the Neo-Gothic style. The design was drawn up by Czech-Austrian architect Friedrich Ohmann, then a professor at the Prague School of Applied Arts. The façade of the bay window on Ovocný trh was decorated by Mikoláš Aleš with a distinctive heraldic composition: in the center is a brown eagle with outstretched wings, a laurel wreath around its neck, and the inscription PRAHA on the shields; to its right is a Czech double-tailed lion and to its left a Moravian eagle. Above it, on the cornice, is the inscription: Peace and happiness under this roof with the year 1897 written in Roman numerals. The bay window is supported by a half-length figure of a boy with a shield bearing the initials of the owner of the house.
Ein Ausflug nach Wien
Alle, die keinen Urlaub machen können, mögen mich auf einer Runde durch Wien begleiten. Vorbei an den berühmten Sehenswürdigkeiten, aber vielleicht auch abseits Sehenswertes entdecken ...
Das Wiener Rathaus in der Innenstadt wurde von 1872 bis 1883 im Stil der Neogotik erbaut. Hier sind die Amtsräume des Wiener Bürgermeisters, der gleichzeitig auch Wiener Landeshauptmann ist. An der Spitze des Hauptturms ist der 5,4 Meter hohe, aus Kupfer angefertigte Rathausmann (links unten) zu sehen. Am Gebäude befinden sich zahlreiche weitere Figuren, Wappenträger, Schildträger, Kaiser und Könige, Darstellungen von bürgerlichen Berufen (wie Tischler, Schneider, Goldschmied, Schuhmacher, Kaufmann…), und allegorische Figuren (wie die Weisheit, die Gerechtigkeit, die Stärke, die Treue…). Vor dem Gebäude befinden sich der Rathausplatz und der Rathauspark (links oben).
A trip to Vienna
All those who cannot take a holiday may follow me on a tour through Vienna. Past the famous sights, but perhaps you will also discover sights worth seeing off the beaten track …
The Vienna Town Hall in the city centre was built from 1872 to 1883 in the neo-Gothic style. It houses the offices of the Mayor of Vienna, who is also the Governor of Vienna. At the top of the main tower you can see the 5.4-metre-high Rathausmann ('Town-hall man', bottom left), made of copper. On the building there are numerous other figures, armour bearers, shield bearers, emperors and kings, representations of middle-class professions (such as carpenter, tailor, goldsmith, shoemaker, merchant...) and allegorical figures (such as wisdom, justice, strength, loyalty...). In front of the building are the Rathausplatz ('Town Hall Square') and the Rathauspark ('Town Hall Park', top left).

Constructed from 1872 to 1883 in a Neo-Gothic style according to plans designed by Friedrich von Schmidt, it houses the office of the Mayor of Vienna as well as the chambers of the city council and Vienna Landtag diet. For a brief period between 1892-1894, the Vienna City Hall was the world's tallest building, until it was eclipsed by Milwaukee City Hall.
Hotel Paris in Prague, built in 1904 by architect Jan Vejrych, is a prime example of Art Nouveau with neo-Gothic elements. Its richly decorated interiors, designed by Antonín Pfeifer and featuring ceramic mosaics by Josef Köhler, reflect the elegance of the Belle Époque. The hotel has remained in the Brandejs family since its inception and was declared a historical monument in 1984. After being returned to the family in 1991 following the Velvet Revolution, it was carefully restored to preserve its original character. Located near the Powder Tower and Municipal House, it continues to offer a luxurious and timeless experience in the heart of Prague.
Mount Stuart was the vision of the 3rd Marquess of Bute who commissioned this impressive neo gothic mansion house to replace an earlier home destroyed by fire in 1877. It was the first home in Britain to have an indoor heated swimming pool and the first in Scotland to have electricity.
The Marble Hall is the impressive centrepiece of the building. A map of the stars studded with glass crystals adorns the vaulted ceiling, the signs of the zodiac and their corresponding seasons windows, illuminate the stained glass.
Die freistehende mächtig wirkende dreischiffige auf einer erhöhten Ebene am westlichen Stadtrand stehende Stadtkirche besitzt einen Kranz von zehn Steinfialen am Kirchturm. Im Inneren ist sie gut erhalten.
Architekt des Entwurfs war Baurat Brecht. Die Grundsteinlegung erfolgte 1866, die Einweihung des neugotischen Gotteshauses am 3. Mai 1871. Vier Glocken wurden aus der Vorgängerkirche übernommen.
The free-standing, powerful-looking three-aisled city church, which stands on an elevated level on the western edge of the city, has a wreath of ten stone pinnacles on the church tower. Inside it is well preserved.
The architect of the design was building officer Brecht. The foundation stone was laid in 1866 and the neo-Gothic church was inaugurated on May 3, 1871. Four bells were taken from the previous church.
De Haar Castle (Dutch: Kasteel de Haar) is located in Utrecht, Netherlands, near the village of Haarzuilens. The current buildings, all built upon the original castle, date from 1892 and are the work of Dutch architect P.J.H. Cuypers, in a Neo-Gothic restoration project funded by the Rothschild family.
Located opposite to the Madrid Royal Palace, Almudena Cathedral is a Catholic church in Madrid, Spain. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Madrid and was consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1993.

The market offers a large variety of stalls on three floors. The entrance gate has a neogothic touch. A distinctive architectural feature is the roof which was restored to have colorful Zsolnay tiling from Pécs. The size of the building is 10,000 square meters and is covered by steel structure. During the World War II the market was significantly damaged and remained in deteriorating condition. It wasn't until 1991 that a thorough renovation was undertaken to bring it back to its original splendor.
It is located at the end of the famous pedestrian shopping street Váci utca and on the Pest side of the Liberty bridge at Fővám square.
A Spanish-colonial stunner, Quito’s vibrant Centro Histórico is packed with elaborate churches and old-time monasteries (some were centuries in the making), people-packed plazas and looming bell towers.
