And meanwhile the wind gets gale force and the wet snow blows in my face and I only now can I imagine what it must have been like here as the whipped up sea crashed her high waves against he splash wharf in front of the lightkeeper's house.
The only thing that reassures me is the fact that I'm standing safe in the middle of the fields of the "Noordoostpolder" and that the former sea, today's "IJsselmeer" , is raging many miles away.
Until 1875, the lighthouse was a wooden dwelling and the lighthouse consited of a petroleum light.
During heavy storm and heavy ice conditons, the lighthouse keeper and his family had to be resqued from the dead several times.
Untill that date, the canal was owned by a private company and a toll was charged for the passage and use of the moorings.
In 1876, the Department of Public Works became the manager of the canal and applied considerable improvements, including the repair of the seriously neclected dams and the construction of a new lightkeeper's house in an austere neoclassical style.
The light on the house was a white light, and the interior of the house included a cast-iron structure supporting the heavy light tower.
The light was visible as far as 18,5 kilometers from the sea.
Inside the house was a water tank connected to the sea like a communicating barrel.
The tank contained a device very modern for the time, the self -recording gauge, so that the lightkeeper could read the water levels inside the house in rough weather.
After the Zuiderzee was closed off, the dams were demolished and the basalt stones were reused to build the dikes of the Noordoostpolder........
The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor is an 18th-century neoclassical monument in Berlin, built on the orders of Prussian king Frederick William II after restoring the Orangist power by suppressing the Dutch popular unrest. One of the best-known landmarks of Germany, it was built on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to the town of Brandenburg an der Havel, which used to be the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg.
It is located in the western part of the city centre of Berlin within Mitte, at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. One block to the north stands the Reichstag building, which houses the German parliament (Bundestag). The gate is the monumental entry to Unter den Linden, a boulevard of linden trees which led directly to the royal City Palace of the Prussian monarchs.
Throughout its existence, the Brandenburg Gate was often a site for major historical events and is today considered not only as a symbol of the tumultuous histories of Germany and Europe, but also of European unity and peace.

Monastery was founded at the end of XVI Century. Most of the current buildings were built in the 18th and 19th Centuries in a neoclassical style. Main Cathedral (at the photo) was built in 1821-1825.
Built at a cost of $40,000, the Temple B'rith Sholom was completed in 1917. The synagogue was designed by architect Robert Bouillard in the Neo-Classical style. A new wing was added in 1958 and, in 2007, the Temple completed a major refurbishment of its sanctuary.
The Neoclassical revival, Corinthian style building was designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting, and built between 1912 and 1916. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Beginning in 2004, the capitol underwent a major restoration and renovation project.
Museo del Louvre ...statue neoclassiche
Ninfa dello scorpione è il nome dato a due sculture realizzate da Lorenzo Bartolini, una situata al museo del Louvre di Parigi e l'altra al museo dell'Ermitage di San Pietroburgo. Un modello in gesso è conservato alla galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze
Nymph of the scorpion is the name given to two sculptures created by Lorenzo Bartolini, one located in the Louvre museum in Paris and the other in the Hermitage museum in St. Petersburg. A plaster model is kept in the Accademia gallery in Florence
The white-plastered, neoclassical country house with basement was built between 1851 and 1854. The house has a monumental orangery, with an upper middle part and two curved side wings, all in brick with pilasters. Neoclassical means as much as "with sober, strict, yet calm forms". The commissioner for the construction was Maria van Mattemburgh. In 1878 another conservatory was added. On the street side of the manor is a hilly flower bed in the style of Pückler-Muskau. There is also a coach house and a plastered octagonal tea dome with wooden crowning. The romantic park landscaping with an English and a French garden dates from approximately 1878. It has an area of 17 ha. Since the garden is located on the Brabantse Wal, where there is a strong difference in height, it was used by the landscape architects. The tea dome is located on an artificial hill 11 m above sea level. Three visual axes run from there, one to the Markiezaatsmeer and two in the direction of De Blaffert. Below the tea house is an ice cellar, which nowadays houses bats, such as the long-eared bat, water bat, fringed tail and the long-eared bat. In the lawn is a meandering pond that changes into the brook De Blaffert, and over which are two bridges, a Chinese bridge and a bridge that is built from boulders. The garden contains a number of statues, which were placed between 1990 and 1995. The long gable farm Hildernisse is located on the estate. This farm was originally 17th century, but in its current appearance it dates from the mid-18th century. In the west facade is a niche with a statue of Mary. The farm has a barn and a bakehouse. The garden is considered one of the five most important style gardens in the Netherlands.

A view of the buildings on the north side of Lincoln's historic courthouse square as seen from the steps of the Logan County Courthouse. This view shows the entire 600 Block of Broadway St. All of the properties in this view lie within the Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
Of the eight buildings shown above, the former Lincoln Savings and Building Association building (c. 1914, Neoclassical) at the corner of Broadway and N. Kickapoo St. (left), and the two-story commercial building at the opposite end of the block (c. 1895, Italianate) at the corner of Broadway and N. McLean St. (right). are contributing properties in the historic district.
The buildings sandwiched between the two ends are a mix of newer mid-century commercial buildings, and older buildings that have been modernized to the extent that their historic architectural antecedents are basically unrecognizable. These buildings are non-contributing properties within the historic district.
Lincoln is the seat of Logan County, which is situated in central Illinois approximately 26 miles northeast of Springfield, the state capitol. The estimated population of Lincoln in 2018 was 13,685.
This Neoclassical building is one of 61 "Carnegie Libraries" in Michigan. These libraries were funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, a philanthropic endeavor by Andrew Carnegie. Over 2500 libraries were built between 1883 and 1929.
The Traverse City Library was built in 1904 and expanded in the 1960s. The addition, an awful, non-descript box of a building (in my opinion), was completely devoid of character, and inconsistent with the simple, elegant structure of the original. I cropped that addition out of this picture.
Today, Traverse City has grown, and a larger library has been built, with the Carnegie library eventually becoming today's "History Museum."

The Monostor Fortress - the largest modern fortress in Central Europe - was built between 1850 and 1871. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the neoclassical military monument is a fascinating sight with its huge walls of precisely hewn stone, the 3-4 metre thick earthen ramparts covering the defences and its network of underground passages (kazamata) several kilometres long.
Its monumental dimensions are evidenced by the following figures: The fortress covers 25 hectares, the total area including the firing ranges is 70 hectares, the floor area of the buildings is 25 680 m2 and the number of rooms is 640.
After the fortress was built, it served generations of soldiers of the Hungarian Defence Forces. Its tasks included the defence of the central fortress (North - Komárom) and the control of shipping on the Danube. It was never used in combat and served mainly as a training centre and weapons depot. During the First World War it was used as a conscription and training centre. During the Second World War, the 22nd Infantry Regiment had its headquarters at Fort Monostor, and the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments were stationed there. After the Second World War.
Between 1945 and 1990, the Red Army's Army Group South set up the largest ammunition depot in Central Europe in the fort. With their withdrawal, the military function of the fortress ended forever.
Today the fort is a popular destination with a military history exhibition, Cold War vehicles, a bread museum, a boat exhibition and numerous events.
Kozłówka Palace is a large rococo and neoclassical palace complex of the Zamoyski family in Kozłówka, Lubartów County, Lublin Voivodeship in eastern Poland.
The palace was built between 1735 and 1742 and is one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii), as designated May 16, 2007, and tracked by the National Heritage Board of Poland. It currently houses the Zamoyski Family Museum in Kozłówka. The Kozłówka Landscape Park lies south of the palace complex.
The original palace was built in the first half of 18th century for Michał Bieliński, voivode of Chełmno; its architect was Jozef II Fontana. It represents the characteristic type of baroque suburban residence built entre cour et jardin (between the entrance court and the garden). Its architecture is original - a merger of European art with old Polish building traditions. In 1799, the Palace was acquired by the aristocratic Zamoyski family. It belonged to the family up until 1944. The palace experienced a period of great prosperity during the times of Count Konstanty Zamoyski who remodelled the palace in order to turn it into one of the most monumental and representative magnate residences in Poland.
Between 1879 and 1907, the palace was rebuilt in Neo-Baroque style, the chapel was modified (modelled on the chapel at Versailles Palace); a theatre, a second outbuilding and an entrance gate were also added. The palace also features a unique sewers system from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, which made it possible for the owners of the property to have access to some of the earliest modern bathrooms in Europe.
In 1903, the Kozłówka entail was established by Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, which meant that the property belonging to the Zamoyski family could not be sold or divided and automatically passed by law to the eldest heir.
In 1928, the chairman of the Polish Gymnastics Society Sokół, Count Adam Michał Zamoyski, organized a training camp in the palace gardens for the Polish national gymnastics team in preparation for the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam.
From November 1944, when the last owners Count Aleksander Zamoyski and his wife Countess Jadwiga Zamoyska were forced to flee their palace, it became the property of the Communist regime, whose grip on Poland ended in 1989. It currently hosts the Zamoyski family museum.
The interiors of the palace were preserved despite the ravages of the German Nazi and Soviet Regimes from 1939 to 1989. The original opulent design and most of museum quality art from the Zamoyski family collections remain.
The surroundings of the palace also include a historic chapel, French Baroque garden, stables and a carriage house. The palace grounds also feature the Gallery of Socrealism, the largest collection of communist art in Poland featuring over 1,600 sculptures, paintings, drawings and posters.
The National Trust’s Ickworth House is an Italianate palace in the heart of Suffolk. This neoclassical building set in parkland was the residence of the Marquess of Bristol before being sold to the National Trust in 1998.
The house was built between 1795 and 1829, and is one of England's more unusual houses. The rotunda is flanked by segmental single-story narrow wings.
The oldest building at Queen’s, this graceful neoclassical villa was built as a private home for the local Anglican Archdeacon George Okill Stuart in 1839.
Okill Stuart's father, Rev John Stuart, had been granted the 200-acre plot of land in 1785 in recognition of his status as Chaplain of the King's Royal Regiment, Bishop Emissary of the Church of England, and one of Kingston's most important United Empire Loyalist leaders.
Summerhill was restored in 1984 and again in 2002 and is a designated Ontario historical site.
In 2010, the east wing was officially renamed Agnes Benidickson House in honour of the former Chancellor (see Agnes Benidickson).
This house (The Grange) was owned by Henry Drummond, in 1804 he commissioned an architect William Wilkins to redesign his brick house into a neoclassical Ancient Greek temple. This is now owned by English Heritage.
Kazan Cathedral or Kazanskiy Kafedralniy Sobor (Russian: Каза́нский кафедра́льный собо́р), also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, is a cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church on the Nevsky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Kazan, one of the most venerated icons in Russia.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1801 and continued for ten years under the supervision of Alexander Sergeyevich Stroganov. Upon its completion in 1811, the new temple replaced the Church of Nativity of the Theotokos, which was disassembled when the Kazan Cathedral was consecrated.
The architect Andrey Voronikhin modelled the building on St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Some art historians assert that Emperor Paul (reigned 1796-1801) intended to build a similar church on the other side of Nevsky Prospect that would mirror the Kazan Cathedral, but such plans failed to materialize.[citation needed] Although the Russian Orthodox Church strongly disapproved of the plans to create a replica of a Catholic basilica in Russia's then capital, several courtiers supported Voronikhin's Empire Style design.
After Napoleon invaded Russia (1812) and the commander-in-chief General Mikhail Kutuzov asked Our Lady of Kazan for help, the church's purpose altered. The Patriotic War over, Russians saw the cathedral primarily as a memorial to their victory over Napoleon. Kutuzov himself was interred in the cathedral in 1813; and Alexander Pushkin wrote celebrated lines meditating over his sepulchre. In 1815 keys to seventeen cities and eight fortresses were brought by the victorious Russian army from Europe and placed in the cathedral's sacristy. In 1837, Boris Orlovsky designed two bronze statues of Kutuzov and of Barclay de Tolly which stand in front of the cathedral.

In 1876 the Kazan demonstration, the first political demonstration in Russia, took place in front of the church. After the Russian Revolution of 1917 the authorities closed the cathedral (January 1932). In November 1932 it reopened as the pro-Marxist "Museum of the History of Religion and Atheism". or, as one contemporary writer put it more baldly, "Leningrad's largest antireligious museum", complete with Spanish Inquisition waxwork . Services resumed in 1992, and four years later the cathedral was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. As of 2017 it functions as the mother cathedral of the metropolis of St. Petersburg.
The cathedral's interior, with its numerous columns, echoes the exterior colonnade and is reminiscent of a palatial hall, being 69 metres in length and 62 metres in height. The interior features numerous sculptures and icons created by the best Russian artists of the day. A wrought-iron grille separating the cathedral from a small square behind it is sometimes cited as one of the finest ever constructed.
The cathedral's huge bronze doors are one of four copies of the original doors of the Baptistery in Florence, Italy (the other three are at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, United States, at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, United States, and at the Florence Baptistery itself).
The Kazan Cathedral is considered to be the model for the neoclassical style of Helsinki Cathedral, one of the most iconic landmarks of Helsinki, Finland. [Wikipédia]

This neoclassical alleyway goes back a ways. Construction of the "new" Somerset House, built on the site of a Tudor palace belonging to the Duke of Somerset, began in 1776! Beyond the arch is the "New Wing," even newer from the Victorian era. The history of Somerset House is one of the richest in London.
Originally built to be a grand public building housing various government, and public-benefit society offices, today the massive complex centered around the arts and education. The Courtauld Gallery has occupies the North Wing since 1989.
Osgoode Hall is a landmark building in downtown Toronto dating from 1829. It originally served to house the regulatory body for lawyers in Ontario along with its law school (formally established as Osgoode Hall Law School in 1889) which was the only recognized professional law school for the province at the time.[1] It was constructed between 1829 and 1832 in the late Georgian Palladian and Neoclassical styles. It currently houses the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Divisional Court of the Superior Court of Justice, the offices of The Law Society of Upper Canada and the Great Law Library. The portico of Osgoode Hall's east wing was built at the head of Toronto's York Street to serve as a terminating vista, though it is now obscured by trees planted on the building's lawn.
One of the most beautiful towns in the area of Argolis (in eastern Peloponnese) as well as one of the most romantic cities all over Greece, Nafplio was the first capital of the newly born Greek state between 1823 and 1834.
According to mythology, the town was founded by Nafplios, the son of god Poseidon and the daughter of Danaus (Danaida) Anymone. The town’s history traces back to the prehistoric era when soldiers from here participated in the Argonautic expedition and the Trojan War alike. The town declined during the Roman times and flourished again during the Byzantine times. Frankish, Venetian and Turkish conquerors left their mark in the town and strongly influenced its culture, architecture and traditions during the centuries. Ancient walls, medieval castles, monuments and statues, Ottoman fountains and Venetian or neoclassical buildings mesmerize the visitor with their unique architecture and beauty.
the Palamidi Castle, which proudly stands 216 m above sea level. In order to reach it you have to climb all of its 999 steps carved into the rock. Not to worry, though: the view from above here is totally rewarding! Venture into a place drenched in history, where the famous hero of the Greek Revolution Theodore Kolokotronis had been imprisoned; it seems as if its battlements -named after the renowned ancient heroes Themistocles, Achilles, Fokion, Leonidas, Epaminondas and Miltiades- are still carefully protecting the city. Agios Andreas battlement built at the top of the Castle by Venetian conquerors undoubtedly offers stunning views to the Argolic gulf and the Mycenaean plain.
Akronafplia is the historic rock at the foot of Palamidi hill, also known by its Turkish name “Its Kale” (meaning inner castle). Inhabited since prehistoric times, the peninsula consists of three levels, among which stand three independent castles, the oldest being the western one. It was there that the ancient acropolis was situated, fortified with polygonic Cyclopean walls.
