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 Collegiate Church of Our Lady is a 13th-century Gothic cathedral in Dinant, a city in Waloon Belgium, on the banks of the River Meuse. The collegiate church replaced a 10th-century Romanesque church which collapsed in 1228, leaving only the North door. Its most iconic part is the separate 16th century pear-shaped bell tower.
Southwark Cathedral or The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Saviour and St Mary Overie, Southwark, London, lies on the south bank of the River Thames close to London Bridge. It is the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Southwark. It has been a place of Christian worship for more than 1,000 years, but a cathedral only since the creation of the diocese of Southwark in 1905.
The present building retains the basic form of the Gothic structure built between 1220 and 1420, although the nave is a late 19th-century reconstruction.

The idea on this night was to try to get a shot of the Comet Lemmon. And while it was visible and I did get some pics of it the view of the comet was somewhat disappointing. The view of the Milky Way above the observation building was much better. Cheers! Colorado, USA
built in 1077 the Saint Etienne Church of Gorze
is in Romanic style outside and Gothic style inside.
It is in fact the first gothic church of Lorraine - France -
l'église collégiale de Gorze -
construite en 1077, sa particularité est d'être de style
roman à l'extérieur et de style gothique à l'intérieur.
c'est d'ailleurs la première église gothique en Lorraine.
The Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Maddalena stands as a testament to the rich historical tapestry of its city. Originating in the Byzantine period, this architectural marvel boasts a neoclassical facade completed in the 19th century, while its roots trace back to a humble chapel established in 1097. The church's bell tower and dome, adorned with distinctive green-yellow majolica tiles, not only enhance its visual splendor but also serve as a beacon visible throughout the village. This church is not just a place of worship but a cultural hub where art, history, spirituality, and the natural world converge, offering a unique museum-like experience to all who visit.

The Collegiate Church of St. Stephan, known in German as St. Stephan zu Mainz, is a Gothic hall collegiate church located in the German city of Mainz.
History
St. Stephan zu Mainz was originally built in 990 at the order of Archbishop Willigis, who also initiated the building of Mainz Cathedral. The church was founded on top of the highest hill in the town, most likely on behalf of Theophanu, the widow of Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor. Willigis intended the church to be a site of prayer for the Empire.
The provost of the Collegiate Church administered one of the archdiaconates (a medieval organizational form similar to today's diaconates) of the Archbishopric of Mainz.
The building
The current church building dates from the late medieval era; construction of the main area of the church began in about 1267 and was completed in 1340. The successional building kept the guidelines of the floor plan of the original Willigis building and with it the design as a double choir church. St. Stephan is the oldest Gothic hall church in the Upper Rhine district, and is (besides Mainz Cathedral) the most important church in the city of Mainz.

Only a few changes have been made to the church since the 14th century. The cloister, for instance, was added between 1462 and 1499 to the southern side of the church, and the outer face of the church was updated during the Baroque period. In 1857 a great explosion in a nearby powder magazine (Mainz was a federal fortress in the 19th century) destroyed the baroque facing of the church.
St. Stephan was heavily damaged in the cause of the bombing of Mainz in World War II. The cloister was heavily damaged and was rebuilt between 1968 and 1971; the restoration of the huge western belfry was also completed at that time, albeit with some difficulty. The arches over the nave and the choir could not be saved and have been replaced by a flat wooden ceiling.
The church features a Gothic hall with a triple nave and quires at both the west and east ends. A large octagonal bell tower rises above the western choir. (Wikipedia)
If there's one thing that leaving Colorado, even for the shortest time, has taught me - it's that I really do love this beautiful state.

From above Cottonwood Pass at about 12,300 feet looking northeast into the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness and at the Continental Divide We are hoping there will be a good snowpack this winter season that will blanket this area. On average this area gets anywhere from 20 - 30 feet of snow.
Ok, out of the city for a while. The collegiate peaks are part of the collection of mountain peaks found in Colorado, over 14,ooo ft.
The collegiate church was built at the end of the 12th century with clear Burgundian influences. The architectural style shows elements that point to the transition from the late Romanesque to the early Gothic period. Construction of the choir, the apse and the crypt was finished before 1210. The inside of the church was altered significantly in the 14th century. Major decorative work in the baroque style was undertaken by provost Jean-Frédéric de Grandvillers between 1660 and 1702. The crypt was built for the sarcophagus containing the relics of St. Ursicinus, but his mortal remains were never kept there; they are buried under the main altar of the collegiate church.

Lincluden Collegiate Church, known earlier as Lincluden Priory or Lincluden Abbey, is a ruined religious house, situated to the north of the Royal Burgh of Dumfries, Scotland. Situated in a bend of the Cluden Water, at its confluence with the River Nith, the ruins are on the site of the Bailey of the very early Lincluden Castle, as are those of the later Lincluden Tower. This religious house was founded circa 1160 and was used for various purposes, until its abandonment around 1700. The remaining ruins are protected as a category A listed building, and as a scheduled monument.
