Nave de la iglesia cisterciense del Monasterio de Santa María de Rioseco, Valle de Manzanedo, Burgos
Ein teilweise dreifacher Mauergürtel (einschließlich der erhaltenen Türme und Tore) umgibt die Klosteranlage, die immer noch den Geist zisterziensischer Raumaufteilung widerspiegelt. Dies gilt besonders für den Bereich der Klausur um den spätgotischen Kreuzgang mit Kirche, Dorment (Schlafraum), Refektorium (Speisesaal), Kapitelsaal, Parlatorium und Bruderhalle.

In the Gothic cathedral in Soissons, dedicated to Saint Gervais and Saint Protais. The building-work was started in 1177 and finished in 1479. It was severely damaged in the first world war, but later restored - a task that was completed in 1937.

The decoration within the palaces comes from the last great period of Andalusian art in Granada. Columns and muqarnas appear in several chambers, and the interiors of numerous palaces are decorated with arabesques and calligraphy. The arabesques of the interior are ascribed to, among other sultans, Yusuf I, Mohammed V, and Ismail I, Sultan of Granada.

The medieval aspect of this Renaissance castle of Fontaine-Henry becomes very apparent in the cellar.
The castle was built by the family d'Harcourt and it took nearly a hundred years to finish it (hence it's mainly a Renaissance building, finished in 1560, but it has some details that are in the Gothic style known as Flamboyant). There was actually a fortress built here already in the 11th century and in the beginning of the 13th century this was replaced by a castle (which might explain why it next to the current castle stands a very medieval chapel).
The castle is still owned by people who are direct descendants of the family who first started building this castle - though the surname has sometimes changed and the current owners carry the name d’Oilliamson - since it a few times was inherited by women. The house is still privately owned, but the interior can be visited on guided tours (no photography allowed, though - except the basement).
"Rome was mud and smoky skies; the rank smell of the Tiber and the exotically spiced cooking fires of a hundred different nationalities."

Inside the The abbey of Our Lady in Lonlay (or Lonlay-l'Abbaye).
This abbey, at first situated outside the town of Lonlay (now the place has grown) was founded by William of Bellême (Guillaume Ier de Bellême), with the original charter signed around 1020. It was a Benedictine abbey, built in Romanesque style. It had several priories, including Notre Dame sur l'eau in Domfront (which can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/dameboudicca/20515002803 ). The whole place saw substantial renovations and rebuilding in the 12th and 14th century and the church is now in the Gothic style. But it also saw two fires in the 16th century - the first started by accident in 1533 (which destroyed much of the abbey archives) and the second by Huguenots in 1574 during the War of Religions. The Benedictine order left after this and the place was never fully rebuilt. The church was also damaged by bombs in 1944 and the liberation of France. A full restoration (including archaeological studies) began in 1965 and in 1973 the church was once again open for parish use.

Westminster Abbey, formally titled the Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, is a large, mainly Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London, just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is one of the United Kingdom's most notable religious buildings and the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. Between 1540 and 1556, the abbey had the status of a cathedral. Since 1560, however, the building is no longer an abbey nor a cathedral, having instead the status of a Church of England "Royal Peculiar"—a church responsible directly to the sovereign. The building itself is the original abbey church.
The soaring Gothic lancet arches of the interior of Wells Cathedral direct attention to the heavens above & the windows let in lots of glorious light. The unique scissor arches add to the effect of otherworldly glory. The arches were added in the early 14th century.
