The Saint-Marie-Majeure (dite La Major) (1893) cathedral is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Marseille. Its eclectic style is Byzantine-Roman Revival. The architects were Léon Vaudoyer and Henri-Jacques Espérandieu. The edifice is 142 meters (469 ft) long, and the main cupola is 70 meters (231 ft) high. With a capacity of 3,000 seats, it is one of the largest cathedrals in France.
Its polychromatic façade has alternating bands of ‘Pierre de Cassis’ and green marble.
Espérandieu (a Protestant architect) was also the leading architect of the ND de La Garde (also Byzantine - Roman Revival styled) here.
He was called in to replace Léon Vaudroyer, who died in 1872 after a 20-year involvement with the design and build of the cathedral. In the 19th century cathedral building was a very lengthy process, not as long as that of the ones of the middleages though.
This is number 28 of the Churches album and 15 of Marseille.
From our fall ride a week ago.
In 1885 Bohemian immigrants founded Saint John Nepomucene Catholic Church, named for the patron saint of Czechoslovakia. The settlers, most of whom emigrated from Prague, named their community Praga. This Gothic Revival church was built as a frame structure in 1890; the steeple and bell were added in 1893. In 1926 the church was clad in fieldstone. The altar and some statues date from 1894. Since its founding, Saint John Church has been served by neighboring priests.

This was the first Catholic Church in the Northern Neck of Virginia. It was dedicated in 1885 as St Francis Catholic Chapel and is located in Kilmarnock, VA. Until 1915 priests came by steamship from Fredericksburg down the Rappahannock River because the congregation was not large enough for a full time priest. A new brick church was dedicated as St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in 1956 (picture in first comment). In the 1980’s this old church was restored and named Palmer Hall after John Palmer who donated the land.
Finally managed to get into this part of the red zone to get a few shots of the Catholic cathedral. This damage was done mainly in the 6.3 quake on Feb 22nd... more damage has apparently occured in the latest 6.3 as well but this was shot a few days before that happened.
The two front towers have collapsed and gone and that front wall on the left is held up by a bit of kiwi inginuity - shipping containers and hay bales.
To the right of the shot out of frame there is a carpark full of blocks and stone from the collapsed cathedral each layed out seperately and numbered - there being saved to possibly rebuild in the exact way once the quakes finally stop.... if they ever do... (they are doing the same to the Anglican cathedral in Christchurch's Center
The latest Quake has damaged it a lot more and it might now be never rebuilt, on this ground anyway....
Just as an interesting fact. The still standing tower at the back had a statue of the virgin mary facing inwards in the front window, during the feb 22nd quake the statue turned an exact 180degrees to face outwards - looking through the window - without falling over or being damaged.
The road im standing on - Barbadoes St - has been identified as having a Fault Line directly underneath - previously unknown. There are now 3 Major active faults under Christchurch.....

The Roman-Catholic chapel raised in honor of St. Anne. People come to pray at the wood chapel near the lake since the 12th century. In 1564, a stone chapel was erected, the area being so popular that during the 17th and 18th centuries about 30,000-40,000 pilgrims arrived, and stayed for several days. It is said that Saint Anne helps young people to find their soul mate. Another legend says, that women who cannot have children, although they want it dearly, will succeed after a pilgrimage to St. Anne's Lake.

Malbork Castle, Zamek w Malborku
The Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork is a 13th-century Teutonic castle and fortress located near the town of Malbork, Poland. It is the largest castle in the world measured by land area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wikipedia
It was originally constructed by the Teutonic Knights, a German Catholic religious order of crusaders, in a form of an Ordensburg fortress. The Order named it Marienburg in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus. In 1457, it since served as one of the several Polish royal residences and the seat of Polish offices and institutions to 1772. From then on the castle was under German rule for over 170 years until 1945.
The castle is a classic example of a medieval fortress and, on its completion in 1406, was the world's largest brick castle. UNESCO designated the "Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork" and the Malbork Castle Museum a World Heritage Site in December 1997. It is one of two World Heritage Sites in the region (north-central Poland), together with the "Medieval Town of Toruń", which was founded in 1231.
Malbork Castle is also one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii), as designated on 16 September 1994. Its listing is maintained by the National Heritage Board of Poland.
With the rise of Adolf Hitler to power in the early 1930s, the Nazis used the castle as a destination for annual pilgrimages of both the Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls. The Teutonic Castle at Marienburg served as a blueprint for the Order Castles of the Third Reich built under Hitler's reign. In 1945 during World War II combat in the area, more than half the castle was destroyed. At the conclusion of the war, the city of Malbork and the castle became again part of Poland. The castle has been mostly reconstructed, with restoration ongoing since 1962. A new restoration was completed in April 2016. Malbork Castle remains the largest brick complex in Europe.

This famous church and landmark in northeast Washington, D.C. is adjacent to the campus of Catholic University.
The beautiful Peturskirkjan Catholic Church sits at the top of a hill overlooking the Fjord in Akureyri, North Iceland. The view from here is amazing, but it was quite cold when I was there in November!
