The Glyptotheque (German Glyptothek) is a collection of antique sculptures. The designation glyptotheque was coined by the librarian of King Ludwig I of Bavaria, derived from the ancient Greek words γλυπτός glyptós (sth. cut or engraved) and θήκη thḗkē (storage place).
The Munich Glyptotheque was commisioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria and built from 1816 to 1830 in neoclassical style.

The Winterslag coalmine near the Belgian city of Genk is the oldest mine in the province of Limburg, which started production in 1917.
This mine had a very bad reputation for safety at the start of production and as a result many fatal accidents have occurred.
When the mine closed in 1988, 66.593.000 tons of coal had been mined at depths up to 850 meters.
Every day 6.250 miners were rushed down and up through this shaft towers, as well as the mined coal with a speed from 12 meters per second.
The elevator cars and arm-thick steel cables have been removed and the shaft mouth is closed with a thick concrete plug.
The shaft building and its tower will be included in its entirety in the "C- mine" cultural centre in the city of Genk.

The main street of this tiny little town (or should it be called a village?). The municipality of Nogarole Rocca has circa 3800 inhabitants (in 2020). The church is the church of San Lorenzo Martire (St Lawrence the Martyr in English), built in the Neoclassical style in 1729-1755 - but not consecrated until 1770.
The Neoclassical Revival style is defined by a commanding facade with a full height porch, its roof supported by classical columns. The columns are often fluted and the capitals are usually ornate Ionic or Corinthian. ... Classical detailing at the eave is common with embellishments like modillions or dentil molding

This is the church of Rök, a Neoclassical building inaugurated in 1845. The tall stone under the roof to the left is the Rök runestone, with the longest preserved runic inscription in the world - and dating the early 9th century.
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........

Naiad Fountains
Both groups of Naiads (spirits of springs and rivers who belonged to the sea-god Neptune’s followers) were created by Wilhelm Beyer. In the pool on the western side of the park, which was sited in the Great Parterre until 1772, the Naiad plays with a sea creature, while her counterpart on the eastern side frolics with a water bird. Ranged around the perimeter of each rondeau stand eight large Neoclassical marble vases on tall plinths executed by Johann Baptist Hagenauer.

The church Vor Frue Kirke (Danish for Church of Our Lady), is the cathedral of Copenhagen, built in Neoclassical style 1817-1829. It wasn't a cathedral back when it was built (hence that it's not in the name, I suppose), but only since the foundation of the Diocese of Copenhagen in 1922. This church is the fourth one on this spot since the founding of the first one some time not long before 1187 - all these predecessors were destroyed by fire (in 1313, 1728 and 1807 - the third and last time was in the Battle of Copenhagen when British troops bombarded the city).

In the church Vor Frue Kirke (Danish for Church of Our Lady). The text below the statue of Jesus is the beginning of Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." The statue Christus depicts the resurrected Jesus and was made by the famous Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen (who also made the baptismal font you can see here, in the shape of a kneeling angel). Christus is a very popular statue and can be found in many copies, both in Europe and the US - and even placed by the Latter-day Saints church in Salt Lake City (among other places). But this one here is the original to all the others.

Wandering around, we came across the beautiful Zappeion, which is a large, neoclassical, palatial building next to the National Gardens of Athens. It is often used for ceremonies - as we discovered when I spotted this happy couple being photographed on their wedding day.
… Part of the early nineteenth century neoclassical craze. One of the worst offenders in my opinion. Sugar icing anyone ?

The Befreiungshalle
("Hall of Liberation",
is a neoclassical monument on the Michelsberg hill above the town of Kelheim in Bavaria, Germany.
It stands upstream of Regensburg on the river Danube at the confluence of the Danube and the Altmühl, i.e. the Rhine–Main–Danube Canal.
It is just downstream of the Danube Gorge, towering above its lower end.
It was commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria to commemorate the victory over Napoleon in the Befreiungskriege of 1813–1815.

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.
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.

One of the most beautiful structures in the capitol complex, the Illinois Supreme Court building was designed by State Architect William Carbys Zimmerman (1856-1932). The neoclassical style structure was modeled after the U.S. Treasury Building in Washington, DC. Construction began in 1906, and the building was dedicated in 1908. Cost of the project came to just over $456,000. A yearlong renovation and restoration of the building was completed in 2014 at a cost of $14 million.

It overlooks City Park to its south, and Lake Ontario beyond. The front of the structure features the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom.
The building was constructed between 1855 and 1858 as a judicial and administrative complex with a jail in the rear. In 1980 it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada.
I always thought that this stair was named after Admiral Horatio Nelson, it's not. It's named after his elder brother William Nelson, who was also in the british navy and was based in Somerset House.
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.

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."

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.
