The oldest documented structure surviving in the City of Petersburg, Old Blandford Church preserves an important, if difficult, history for its region. Bristol Parish was established by an Act of Assembly in 1643, separated from Martins Brandon Parish. At the time that the present brick church was built in 1735, Bristol Parish had grown to over 2,000 parishioners only to suddenly decline when two new parishes were erected within its former boundaries. Construction of the new parish church at Blandford was completed in two years, a brick church of Georgian design laid in Flemish bond with glazed headers and oriented on an east-west axis. Entrance to the church was permitted through a large door on the west end and a smaller on placed on the south side of the altar near the east end. The parish church was designed and built by Thomas Ravenswood at a cost of 485 pounds and was believed to have been modeled on Merchant's Hope Church in nearby Hopewell.
Soon after the completion of the Bristol Parish Church, the congregation witnessed a sermon by Rev. George Whitfield, an early Methodist evangelist whose tour of the English colonies in North America was the culmination of the first Great Awakening.
Given its location on the Appomattox River, Petersburg developed quickly to become a prosperous port town. Bristol Parish grew to the extent that he vestry ordered the addition of a wing to the north side of the parish church in 1752. The work was overseen by Col. Richard Bland and took several years to complete. The final payment of 400 pounds for the work was made by the vestry in 1767. In addition to the north wing of the church, a brick wall was erected around the churchyard which remains intact today.
Services continued to be held at Blandford Church through the disestablishment, but the continued growth of Petersburg led to the removal of the congregation to a new church built in the downtown. By 1806, the old parish church was abandoned and in 1818, the building was sold to John Grammer who in turn donated the church along with much of the surrounding land to the city for use as a cemetery. During the Civil War, Old Blandford Church was used as a telegraph station and was hit by at least three shells during the siege of the city in 1864/65.
In 1889, the Ladies Memorial Association began its connection with the property, purchasing pews and a podium to accommodate public speaking engagements within the church which the city had restored a few years earlier. In 1901, the building was transferred to the association which proceeded to convert the church into a memorial for Confederate soldiers. The Ladies Memorial Association solicited funds from the former Confederate states to procure Tiffany stained glass windows for the church. These windows were installed and dedicated in 1912 in a ceremony that came during the height of southern edification and "Lost Cause" mythology that increased post-Reconstruction tension between white and African American populations in the United States and a rise in hate crimes and Jim Crow discrimination.
For visitors today, Old Blandford Church should stand as a paradox. The ancient brick walls and elegant wall surrounding the aged stones of its churchyard instill a deep sense of history. This beauty stands in sharp contrast as one walks by Confederate battle flags and views windows which glorify rebellion against the United States for the sake of an abhorrent institution. This provocative juxtaposition leaves one with deep questions upon exiting the churchyard at Old Blandford.

Descripción (ENG): Angel Pata, 16, rows his family canoe at the Mache river in San José de Chamanga. The Pata family engaged in fishing for living. An earthquake hit the place on April 16 destroying several houses and public edifications.
The object of this society is to help altar-boys to fulfill their sacred duties attentively and devoutly, through St. John Berchmans' intercession and by bis example, so that Almighty God may be glorified, and the people may receive edification. Among the simple little rules, we find that each member of the society is to avoid carefully unnecessary talking, looking around, moving his head and feet, or playing with his hands while serving at Mass and that he shall be punctual in attendance, and make the responses devoutly.
Saint-Stephen Cathedral Metz, France, is a Rayonnant Gothic edifice built with the local yellow Jaumont limestone. Like in French Gothic architecture, the building is compact, with slight projection of the transepts and subsidiary chapels. However, it displays singular, distinctive characteristics in both its ground plan and architecture compared to most of the other cathedrals. Because of topography of Moselle valley in Metz, the common west-east axis of the ground plan could not be applied and the church is oriented north-northeast. Moreover, unlike the French and German Gothic cathedrals having three portals surmounted by a rose window and two large towers, Saint-Stephen of Metz has a single porch at its western facade. One enters laterally in the edifice by another portal placed at the south-western side of the narthex, declining the usual alignment of the entrance with the choir. The nave is supported by flying buttresses and culminates at 41.41 metres high, making one of the highest naves in the world. The height of the nave is contrasted by the relatively low height of the aisles with 14.3 metres high, reinforcing the sensation of tallness of the nave. This feature permitted the architects to create large, tall expanses of stained glass. Through its history, Saint-Stephen Cathedral was subjected to architectural and ornamental modifications with successive additions of Neoclassical and Neogothic elements.
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1220 within the walls of an Ottonian basilica dating from the 10th century. The integration into the cathedral's ground plan of a Gothic chapel from the 12th century at the western end resulted in the absence of a main western portal; the south-western porch of the cathedral being the entrance of the former chapel. The work was completed around 1520 and the new cathedral was consecrated on 11 April 1552. In 1755, French architect Jacques-François Blondel was awarded by the Royal Academy of Architecture to built a Neoclassical portal at the West end of the cathedral. He disengaged the cathedral's facade by razing an adjacent cloister and three attached churches and achieved the westwork in 1764. In 1877, the Saint-Stephen of Metz was heavily damaged after a conflagration due to fireworks. After this incident, it was decided the refurbishment of the cathedral and its adornments within a Neogothic style. The western facade was completely rebuilt between 1898 and 1903; the Blondel's portal was demolished and a new Neogothic portal was added.
Many of the bridges which crop its bed (there being one at the intersection of every street) were entirely swept off; Merchandise of every description in its immediate vicinity occupying the lower story’s of the buildings were either entirely destroyed or greatly damag’d. Such was the velocity of the current that whole houses were taken totally from their original site. And the pavements of some of the streets were wholly rooted out into ravines & gullies; Its great perpendicular height was occation’d: by its limits being so contracted & confer’d by the buildings on either side for so great a distance: Had it of been otherwise the damage would have been but inconsiderable. Many of the bridges are still in a ruinous state And it will require time with no small expense to reserect them.
Immediately after breakfast I was called on by three gentlemen; with one of which I had the happiness of an acquaintance: volunteering their services to wait on me with pleasure; to any place I should name.

Metz, France - St Stephen's Cathedral
Saint-Étienne de Metz (French for "Saint-Stephen of Metz"), also known as Metz Cathedral, is a historic Roman Catholic cathedral in Metz, capital of Lorraine, France. Saint-Étienne de Metz is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metz and the seat of the Bishop of Metz, currently Pierre Raffin.The cathedral treasury exhibits the millennium rich collection of the Bishopric of Metz, including paraments and items used for the Eucharist.
Saint-Stephen of Metz has one of the highest naves in the world. The cathedral is nicknamed the Good Lord's Lantern (French: la Lanterne du Bon Dieu), displaying the largest expanse of stained glass in the world with 6,496 m2 (69,920 sq ft). Those stained glass windows include works by Gothic and Renaissance master glass makers Hermann von Münster, Theobald of Lixheim, and Valentin Bousch and romantic Charles-Laurent Maréchal, tachist Roger Bissière, cubist Jacques Villon, and modernist Marc Chagall.
Built between 1220 and 1552, it is the product of the unification of two distinct churches. With its 42 metre high vaults, it is one of the highest Gothic edifices in Europe. With its 6,500 m² of stained glass windows, the nickname “God’s lantern” is well merited. There are windows from the 13th to the 20th centuries by Hermann de Münster, Thiebault de Lixheim, Valentin Bousch, Jacques Villon and Marc Chagall. These masterpieces of the art of fire and light form a veritable encyclopaedia of the art of stained glass.

The height of the nave is contrasted by the relatively low height of the aisles with 14.3 metres (47 ft) high, reinforcing the sensation of tallness of the nave. This feature permitted the architects to create large, tall expanses of stained glass. Through its history, Saint-Stephen Cathedral was subjected to architectural and ornamental modifications with successive additions of Neoclassical and Neogothic elements.
Construction history
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century consecrated to Saint Stephen protomartyr. According to Gregory of Tours, the shrine of Saint Stephen was the sole structure spared during the sack of 451 by Attila's Huns. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1220 within the walls of an Ottonian basilica dating from the 10th century. The integration into the cathedral's ground plan of a Gothic chapel from the 12th century at the western end resulted in the absence of a main western portal; the south-western porch of the cathedral being the entrance of the former chapel.

July 11, 2023 - "Biester Palace is located in the heart of Sintra, being a part of the lavish scenic landscape which enabled the village to become the famous world capital of Romanticism.
Erected in the last decades of the 19th century, the building was designed by the firts portuguese architect José Luiz Monteiro, and decorated by the best artists of the period, namely Luigi Manini and Leandro de Souza Braga, amongst others. The wealth of stylistic influences it exhibits results in a whole of great historical and artistic importance, perfectly merging with the Romantic spirit of the surrounding landscape, whilst simultaneously asserting as a great expression of late century modernity, highlighted by a leading functional approach, and by the audacity of its decorative programme.
The Palace is surrounded by the majestic Biester Park, a true Eden of rare and exuberant arboreal species, brilliantly conceived by French landscapist François Nogré, in which the dewy verdant areas and watercourses flourish, moreover favoured by the existence of two magnificent viewpoints from where it is possible to sight the Moors Castle, or enjoy a stunning view all the way through to the sea.
But Biester universe is much more than the eyes can reach, with a history full of secrets, and a mysterious, captivating spiritual dimension. All the events conducting to its edification, especially of the Chapel and the Library, are enclosed in intricate and profound mysticism, where art and religion meet in most peculiar and unexpected ways, constructing a path with themes as intriguing as the Knights Templar, Rome and Christendom, or even through esoteric connections to the spheres of Occultism. More than an historical monument, Biester Palace is a mysterious adventure in a fascinating and little explored cultural labyrinth – let us discover it."

Rossauer Barracks
9th district
The Rossauer Barracks should be together with Franz Joseph's Barracks and the arsenal part of a planned fortress triangle, which should provide protection against internal unrest. On 1 August 1864, ground was broken for the construction of the barracks in the Rossau. Full six years took the edification, and 5 July 1870 the entire area was handed over and the first troops moved. The Barracks underwent several alterations and changes of use over time. During World War II falling bombs destroyed the Danube side infantry officer tract completely, but then it was mostly true to the original rebuilt.
The Rossauer barracks is built in the style of late romantic historicism and recalls the medieval fortress architecture with towers, battlements, attachments and eaves. The equipment of the barracks was already inadequate and doubtful designed in the early days when it came to spatial proportions and sanitation. It was sometimes the story that the architect committed suicide because he had forgotten to install toilets. The barracks offered after their completion accommodation for 2,900 men and 390 horses. Next to it 99 officers flats of different sizes, 43 apartments for married officers, a chapel and office spaces were housed. The building has huge proportions. The length is 269m and width of 136m. In the barracks there are three large courtyards. Due to the proximity to the water, when building a very strong foundation was needed, which is located on about 30,000 pilots. It is worthwhile to make the approximately 850m long walk around the building.

Like in French Gothic architecture, the building is compact, with slight projection of the transepts and subsidiary chapels. However, it displays singular, distinctive characteristics in both its ground plan and architecture compared to most of the other cathedrals. Because of topography of Moselle valley in Metz, the common west-east axis of the ground plan could not be applied and the church is oriented north-northeast. Moreover, unlike the French and German Gothic cathedrals having three portals surmounted by a rose window and two large towers, Saint-Stephen of Metz has a single porch at its western facade. One enters laterally in the edifice by another portal placed at the south-western side of the narthex, declining the usual alignment of the entrance with the choir.
The nave is supported by flying buttresses and culminates at 41.41 metres (135.9 ft) high, making one of the highest naves in the world. The height of the nave is contrasted by the relatively low height of the aisles with 14.3 metres (47 ft) high, reinforcing the sensation of tallness of the nave. This feature permitted the architects to create large, tall expanses of stained glass. Through its history, Saint-Stephen Cathedral was subjected to architectural and ornamental modifications with successive additions of Neoclassical and Neogothic elements.
Construction history
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century consecrated to Saint Stephen protomartyr. According to Gregory of Tours, the shrine of Saint Stephen was the sole structure spared during the sack of 451 by Attila's Huns. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1220 within the walls of an Ottonian basilica dating from the 10th century. The integration into the cathedral's ground plan of a Gothic chapel from the 12th century at the western end resulted in the absence of a main western portal; the south-western porch of the cathedral being the entrance of the former chapel. The work was completed around 1520 and the new cathedral was consecrated on 11 April 1552.
In 1755, French architect Jacques-François Blondel was awarded by the Royal Academy of Architecture to built a Neoclassical portal at the West end of the cathedral. He disengaged the cathedral's facade by razing an adjacent cloister and three attached churches and achieved the westwork in 1764.
In 1877, the Saint-Stephen of Metz was heavily damaged after a conflagration due to fireworks. After this incident, it was decided the refurbishment of the cathedral and its adornments within a Neogothic style. The western facade was completely rebuilt between 1898 and 1903; the Blondel's portal was demolished and a new Neogothic portal was added.

The oldest documented structure surviving in the City of Petersburg, Old Blandford Church preserves an important, if difficult, history for its region. Bristol Parish was established by an Act of Assembly in 1643, separated from Martins Brandon Parish. At the time that the present brick church was built in 1735, Bristol Parish had grown to over 2,000 parishioners only to suddenly decline when two new parishes were erected within its former boundaries. Construction of the new parish church at Blandford was completed in two years, a brick church of Georgian design laid in Flemish bond with glazed headers and oriented on an east-west axis. Entrance to the church was permitted through a large door on the west end and a smaller on placed on the south side of the altar near the east end. The parish church was designed and built by Thomas Ravenswood at a cost of 485 pounds and was believed to have been modeled on Merchant's Hope Church in nearby Hopewell.
Soon after the completion of the Bristol Parish Church, the congregation witnessed a sermon by Rev. George Whitfield, an early Methodist evangelist whose tour of the English colonies in North America was the culmination of the first Great Awakening.
Given its location on the Appomattox River, Petersburg developed quickly to become a prosperous port town. Bristol Parish grew to the extent that he vestry ordered the addition of a wing to the north side of the parish church in 1752. The work was overseen by Col. Richard Bland and took several years to complete. The final payment of 400 pounds for the work was made by the vestry in 1767. In addition to the north wing of the church, a brick wall was erected around the churchyard which remains intact today.
Services continued to be held at Blandford Church through the disestablishment, but the continued growth of Petersburg led to the removal of the congregation to a new church built in the downtown. By 1806, the old parish church was abandoned and in 1818, the building was sold to John Grammer who in turn donated the church along with much of the surrounding land to the city for use as a cemetery. During the Civil War, Old Blandford Church was used as a telegraph station and was hit by at least three shells during the siege of the city in 1864/65.
In 1889, the Ladies Memorial Association began its connection with the property, purchasing pews and a podium to accommodate public speaking engagements within the church which the city had restored a few years earlier. In 1901, the building was transferred to the association which proceeded to convert the church into a memorial for Confederate soldiers. The Ladies Memorial Association solicited funds from the former Confederate states to procure Tiffany stained glass windows for the church. These windows were installed and dedicated in 1912 in a ceremony that came during the height of southern edification and "Lost Cause" mythology that increased post-Reconstruction tension between white and African American populations in the United States and a rise in hate crimes and Jim Crow discrimination.
For visitors today, Old Blandford Church should stand as a paradox. The ancient brick walls and elegant wall surrounding the aged stones of its churchyard instill a deep sense of history. This beauty stands in sharp contrast as one walks by Confederate battle flags and views windows which glorify rebellion against the United States for the sake of an abhorrent institution. This provocative juxtaposition leaves one with deep questions upon exiting the churchyard at Old Blandford.
