The collegiate church of the former monastery is located in Vornbach, near the banks of the Inn.
Established in 1050 by Countess Himiltrud von Vornbach as a collegiate monastery, the monastery was converted into a Benedictine monastery in 1094.
Around 1125 a double-towered basilica was built as a monastery church. This church was rebuilt between 1630 and 1637 in the Baroque style with the inclusion of the Romanesque surrounding walls. The church was redecorated in Rococo style between 1728 and 1733. Franz Ignaz Holzinger stuccoed the interior of the church while Innocent Anton Warathy paints the frescoes. On the west gallery there is an organ by Johann Ignaz Egedacher, which is largely preserved in the original.

I believe that's Mt. Yale on the left and Mt. Columbia on the right. This shot was taken from CR300 that goes out to Ruby Mountain, adjacent to the Arkansas River.
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

Rosslyn Chapel, also known as the Collegiate Chapel of Saint Matthew, is a 15th-century Episcopal chapel located in the village of Roslin in Midlothian, Scotland. The chapel was founded by William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness with a ground-breaking ceremony in 1456. After the Scottish Reformation in 1560, it was largely abandoned but, following a visit by Queen Victoria, it was rededicated in 1862. It was the target of a bombing in 1914 during the suffragette bombing and arson campaign. The interior contains some fine carvings which many historians have sought to interpret.
Since the late 1980s, the chapel has been the subject of speculative theories concerning a connection with the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail, and Freemasonry. It was prominently featured in this role in Dan Brown's bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code (2003) and its 2006 film adaptation. Medieval historians say these accounts have no basis in fact. Rosslyn Chapel remains privately owned.
Westminster Abbey (the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter at Westminster) is an Anglican Church in London, England, UK. The church was established in the 11th Century and construction of the current church began in 1245.It has been the location of 40 coronations and 16 royal weddings. It is the burial site of 16 monarchs and many prominent British figures. My photos were taken on two different days during our visit to London.
The Collegiate Church of St. Mary and St. Alexius (Polish: Kolegiata w Tumie) is an encastellated Romanesque church located in the village of Tum near Łęczyca, in central Poland. It was constructed out of granite blocks and sandstone in the mid-12th century.
The church was built using the opus emplectum technique. It has the form of an aisled basilica with galleries, a twin-tower west façade, and two apses (west and east). It was reconstructed in the 15th, 18th and mid-20th centuries; during the latest reconstruction the church returned to its simpler Romanesque form and round turrets at the east were added. The main (north) portal is sculpted and dates back to the first half of 12th century.
The temple stands on top of a holm or islet which was once surrounded by wetlands and marshes. There is evidence from a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent II that a wooden monastery of the early Benedictine Brothers pre dated the church by at least a century.Older excavations and historical analysis suggested that the monastery was founded by Boleslaus I, the first King of Poland, and Saint Adalbert of Prague in approximately 997 AD. However, more recent studies prove that it was most likely founded during the Restoration period, in the second half of the 11th century. The monastery was demolished to make way for the current church.
Historian and painter Władysław Łuszczkiewicz noted that the islet (and the nearby mound) served as a small fortified stronghold, or gord.[5] He justified his claim with the location particulars, as churches would be founded in the vicinity of populated settlements or castles than on isolated land.
The construction was initiated by Janik, Archbishop of Gniezno, in around 1149.[4] According to a legend, the local townsfolk from Łęczyca believed that the dimples in stonework were made by the hands of Devil Boruta, who attempted to destroy the church. The unfinished structure was consecrated on 21 May 1161 by officials and princes.
[ENG] The Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor de Alquézar, has its origin in the Arab castle built in the ninth century on top of a rocky ridge surrounded by ravines located in Alquézar (Huesca, Spain), which after its conquest in 1067 by Sancho Ramírez becomes a Christian fortress, and in 1099, when military needs were overcome by the progress of the Reconquest, a community of Augustinian canons was installed, building a Romanesque collegiate church, which in the 16th century was replaced by Another gothic that endures today. They emphasise: in the cloister the Romanesque capitals of the thirteenth century and the mural paintings of the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries, in the church the rib vault, the Renaissance main altarpiece (XVI century), a Romanesque Christ and the baroque organ.

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.
I went to Dinant, Belgium, on a sunny Sunday in october. It is a beautiful town in Wallonia in Belgium. The church is located under a giant rock and it one of the most interesting location of a church I have ever seen.
About Dinant:
Dinant is a Walloon city and municipality located on the River Meuse in the Belgian province of Namur, Belgium. The Dinant municipality includes the old communes of Anseremme, Bouvignes-sur-Meuse, Dréhance, Falmagne, Falmignoul, Foy-Notre-Dame, Furfooz, Lisogne, Sorinnes, and Thynes.
The city's landmark is the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame (illustration, right), rebuilt in Gothic style on its old foundations after falling rocks from an adjacent cliff partially destroyed the former Romanesque church in 1227. Several stages for paired west end towers were completed before the project was abandoned in favor of the present central tower with its highly-recognizable onion dome and facetted multi-staged lantern.
Above the church rises the vertical flank of the rocher surmounted by the fortified Citadel that was first built in the 11th century to control the Meuse valley. The Prince-Bishops of Liège rebuilt and enlarged it in 1530; the French destroyed it in 1703. Its present aspect, with the rock-hewn stairs (408 steps), is due to rebuilding in 1821, during the United Kingdom of the Netherlands phase of Dinant's checkered history. Further fighting took place during the World War I: among the wounded was Lieut. Charles de Gaulle.

"The Notre-Dame collegiate church is a monument in the town of Vernon in the Eure. It is located opposite the town hall and next to the tourist office. The building is the subject of a classification as historical monuments by the list of 1862.
Work on the building began in the late 1000's. It was around 1072 that the dedication to “the Holy Mother of God” of collegiate 2 took place by Gilbert Fitz Osbern, bishop of Évreux, this church being built in the environment of a pagan temple.
The facade dates from the 1400's. In 1160, Guillaume de Vernon senior founded the college of sixteen canons.
The collegiate church of Vernon has two spiers 70 m high. Important works carried out between 1360 and 1610 concerned the nave and the facade of the collegiate church to create a magnificent Gothic construction with six bays and thirteen side chapels. It was completed in the 1600's.
This construction is one of the oldest in Normandy, in limestone from Vernon, Latin cross plan with non-projecting transept; floors, a vessel, ribbed vaults, slate roofing.
Vernon is a French commune located in the department of Eure in the Normandy region . It is located at the crossroads of the roads from Évreux to Beauvais and from Paris to Rouen by the valley of the Seine. Its motto is Vernon semper viret, "Vernon always green"." - info from Wikipedia.

A handsome ranch is made all the more pleasant by its proximity to the Collegiate Range and in particular, its morning view of Mount Princeton (el 14,197 ft). The field in the foreground is used for hay, while further back it serves as a horse pasture. Mr. Jones, the 1942 baby blue flatbed truck, is used to move bales of hay. The robust cottonwoods on the left are watered by Chalk Creek, near Nathrop, Colorado.
Mount Princeton can be explored and the horses and Mr. Jones can be seen more clearly at the highest resolution.
A Catholic church built in the sixteenth century. It was founded by Juan Téllez-Girón, 4th Count of Ureña.
The interior contains a nave and two aisles, five chapels, and a presbytery. The interior of the church is richly decorated in Renaissance style. It has a Baroque main altar, constructed in the eighteenth century, and the chapels on the sides are all very attractive. In the interior, the huge sacristy is now a museum that exhibits a collection of five paintings by José de Ribera (El Españoleto) and a carving by Juan de Mesa.
On the lower level is the Pantheon of Dukes, which was built in the Plateresque style in 1545 and contains a small chapel with an altarpiece attributed to Roque Balduque, a painting of Hernando de Esturmio, and the tombs of the Dukes of Osuna.

The colours of Girona are well seen here with some glorious late evening light illuminating the north bank properties of the Anyou River. Prominent in this view is the tower of the Collegiate Church of Sant Feliu. Interestingly this church took five hundred years to build and wasn't completed until the 17th century.
The glorious ramshackle collection of multicoloured buildings here are relatively newly built (generally through the 19th century).
