Slovak early Baroque Franciscan monastic church dating back to the late 14th century. Currently the only dual-towered Franciscan church in Slovakia.
The site of the Church of St. Joseph has been sacred for centuries. Originally, a Gothic church dedicated to the Holy Trinity occupied this location. In 1380, the Carmelite brothers constructed a new church, maintaining the dedication to the Holy Trinity. However, during the Reformation, the Carmelites departed, and the church fell under municipal control, serving various secular purposes.
In 1661, Emperor Leopold I granted the church and its accompanying monastery to the Franciscan brothers, marking a new chapter in its history. Despite resistance from the Protestant city council, the Franciscans took possession in 1671, thanks to the intervention of royal forces. This marked the beginning of a significant transformation, supported by local nobility, including Baron František Klobušický.
The Church of St. Joseph underwent extensive reconstruction from 1708 to 1718, led by the Košice builder Ján Tornyossi. The renovations were heavily inspired by the Jesuit Church of the Gesù in Rome, introducing Baroque elements that replaced the original Gothic features. The façade, adorned with stucco ornaments and sculptures by Šimon Griming, presents an impressive display of Baroque artistry.
Inside, the church boasts a stunning altar dedicated to the Holy Family, crafted by František Strecius. This masterpiece features over 40 sculptures, including depictions of the 12-year-old Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Joseph. Although the original altar was lost to a fire in 1870, it was replaced by an illusionistic oil painting by the Franciscan artist Konrád Švestka, capturing the essence of the lost masterpiece.

Der bereits laufende Umbau der St. Hedwigs Kathedrale in Berlin-Mitte scheidet die Geister. Neben einer notwendigen Sanierung des Kirchenbaus wird auch der vom Architekten Hans Schwippert gebaute, berühmte Innenraum vollkommen neu strukturiert. Ein Vorhaben, das nicht nur die Fachwelt spaltet.
Seit November 2023 ist der neue Altar geweiht - man hatte zu diesem Zweck Gläubige aufgerufen, einen Stein ihrer Wahl abzugeben... alle erbeuteten Steine - vom Kiesel bis zum Bernstein - wurden dann als neuer, halbkugelförmiger Altar gegossen.
Im Herbst soll der Umbau dann fertig sein und man darf gespannt auf den Tag der Wiedereröffnung warten.

The Cathedral of Seville is built on the old aljama mosque of the city, this shows the power that one culture exercises over another when it is conquered. This fact makes its plan different, facing Mecca and not Jerusalem, that is, facing south instead of east. It should be clarified that Mecca is oriented at 10o from Seville and not at 86o as the old mosque is oriented, this is due to the fact that in Al-Andalus the mosques had to be oriented towards the south quadrant and not towards the east, as the Christian churches did. When the Cathedral Chapter commissioned the design of the Gothic Cathedral, it stated verbatim that it wanted a Cathedral that everyone who saw it would take for crazy. For this, 5 naves were created that covered the 116 by 76 meter rectangle occupied by the Almohad mosque, this results, unlike what was usual in the great European Gothic Cathedrals, a hall plan with a Latin cross marked in height and in width by the central naves and the transept. This hall plan also results in the absence of an ambulatory at the head, which ends in a straight line like the wall of the old mosque. Later the Royal Chapel would be added, which is a Renaissance apse, but it does not really correspond to the Gothic company. In the naves of the Gospel and the Epistle, which are the lateral naves, there are many chapels. The 60 pillars support 68 ogive vaults, highlighting those of the transept and central nave with their star shapes. Instead of placing a clerestory, a continuous balcony was chosen along the main nave in order to be able to wander around the temple without being seen. Located in the central nave, in order from the feet, are the Retrochoir, the Choir, with two organs, the Transept, the Main Altar, the Back of Altar and the Royal Chapel.
This beautiful parish church, which is dedicated to St. Mauritius, is located in the municipality of Appenzell, the capital of the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden.
The current church building was built between 1823 and 1826. The choir and the church tower are taken over from the late Gothic predecessor church. Enoch Breitmeier and his journeymen act as the builder.
Joseph Anton and Joseph Simon Moosbrugger stucco the church in the Rococo style.
Franz Vettinger paints the ceiling paintings and the 14 medallions.
The high altar dates from 1622. From 1890 to 1892 the Greppi company builds the side altars together with the sculptor Eduard Müller.
The eight windows in the nave show the 14 stations of the cross.
Wang Temple is a wooden Protestant church in Upper Karpacz. Arose in the twelfth / thirteenth century in Vang in southern Norway. Hence its name. Intended to demolish the building purchased in the nineteenth century Prussia Friedrich Wilhelm IV. Thanks to the efforts of the Countess Frederica von Reden from Bukowiec hit the church in the Giant Mountains. July 28, 1844 there was a grand opening and dedication of the church. Wang church was built on the model of the best examples of Scandinavian wooden sacral architecture and a priceless work of art of ancient Norse. This medieval building is probably the biggest attraction, so there's no way to visit while in Karpacz.
Die Kirche verfügt über eine bedeutende Orgel.
Das Jugendstil-Instrument steht auf der Westempore und wurde im Jahre 1906 von der Giengener Orgelmanufaktur Gebr. Link erbaut.
Das Instrument steht unter Denkmalschutz. Es ist bis heute weitgehend unverändert erhalten und ist die einzige große Orgel Süddeutschlands aus der Zeit der Spätromantik.
Die Orgel hat einen orchestralen Klang und verfügt über eine Vielzahl verschiedener Flötenregister und Streicher.

Small church in Karpacz with interesting history :)
Vang Stave Church (Polish: Świątynia Wang) is a stave church which was bought by King Frederick William IV of Prussia and transferred from Norway and re-erected in 1842 in Karpacz in the Karkonosze mountains of Poland. The church is a four-post single-nave stave church originally built around 1200 in the parish of Vang in the Valdres region of Norway. In 1832, the local council decided to pull down the stave church because it was too small and had become structurally unsafe over the years. The Norwegian painter Johan Christian Dahl would like to save it as a cultural monument. The solution came from Crown Prince, later King Frederick William IV of Prussia, whom Dahl knew personally. He persuaded the prince to take over responsibility for the Vang Stave Church and cover the costs of re-erecting it in Potsdam. The original plan had been to re-erect the church on the Pfaueninsel near Potsdam. But in the meantime, this plan was discarded in favour of a site at the remote village of Brückenberg near Krummhübel (today Karpacz) in the Giant Mountains (now the Karkonosze mountains), in the province of Silesia. The idea probably came from countess Friederike von Reden of Buchwald, now Bukowiec, whose memorial stands beside the church. The foundation stone was laid on 2 August 1842 in the presence of King Friedrich Wilhelm himself. In spite of excellent drawings, most of the materials were discarded. Only the main construction, consisting of sills, posts and wall plates, were made use of, in addition to the carved doorframes. All of the external gallery was built with new materials, and every wall plank was precisely replaced. The original elements are placed in the center of the church - four wooden columns and carved portals, as well as carved Nordic lions. Wang Church followed the best examples of the Scandinavian sacral architecture and is now a unique work of the old Nordic art. Built in the way the Viking longships were, that is without a single nail, it features wooden bolts and dovetails. Nowadays, serving a Polish Lutheran community, Wang church has become a major tourist attraction and is probably the world's most visited stave church with about 200 000 visitors each year.

Kościółek Wang w Karpaczu, ładny i z ciekawą historią :)
Kościół Górski Naszego Zbawiciela (powszechnie znany jako Świątynia Wang) – ewangelicki kościół parafialny w Karpaczu w Karkonoszach, przeniesiony w 1842 z miejscowości Vang, leżącej nad jeziorem Vangsmjosa w Norwegii. Zbudowany został z sosnowych bali w miejscowości Vang w południowej Norwegii, na przełomie XII i XIII wieku. Powstał jako jeden z około tysiąca (przetrwało kilkadziesiąt) norweskich kościołów klepkowych. Uważany jest za najstarszy drewniany kościół w Polsce. W XIX wieku świątynia stała się już za mała na potrzeby ludności miejscowości Vang, która chcąc wybudować sobie nowy kościół, musiała zaciągnąć pożyczkę na pokrycie kosztów budowy. Kościół był mocno zniszczony, ale nadawał się do sprzedaży w celu rozbiórki i odbudowania w innym miejscu. Wtedy norweski malarz Jan Krystian Dahl przebywający w Dreźnie skłonił pruskiego króla Fryderyka Wilhelma IV do jej zakupu za 427 marek dla berlińskiego muzeum. W 1841 rozebraną świątynię przewieziono najpierw do Szczecina, a potem do Berlina, jednak zaprzyjaźniona z królem hrabina Fryderyka von Reden z Bukowca przekonała go, żeby przewieźć ją na Śląsk. Świątynię najpierw Odrą przewieziono do Malczyc, potem drogą lądową do Karpacza Górnego, w którym znalazł się w roku 1842. Znaczna część oryginalnych elementów kościoła nie nadawała się do użytku. Brakujące części dorabiano w trakcie budowy na podstawie rysunków. Oryginalne są umieszczone pośrodku kościoła cztery drewniane kolumny oraz bogato rzeźbione portale, a także rzeźbione lwy nordyckie. Konstrukcja kościoła wykonana jest bez użycia gwoździ, wszystkie połączenia zrealizowano przy pomocy drewnianych złączy ciesielskich. 28 lipca 1844 świątynia Wang stała się kościołem miejscowej parafii ewangelickiej i jest nim nadal. Stanowi atrakcję turystyczną Karpacza.
The most famous features of the chapel, among the finest of their type in the world, are the fifteen great stained-glass windows in the nave and apse of the upper chapel, which date from the mid-13th century, as well as the later rose window (put in place in the 15th century). The stone wall surface is reduced to little more than a delicate framework. The thousands of small pieces of glass turn the walls into great screens of coloured light, largely deep blues and reds, which gradually change in intensity from hour to hour.
Most of the windows were put into place between 1242 and 1248. The names of the glass artists are unknown, but the art historian Louis Grodecki identified what appear to be three different ateliers with different styles. The windows in the apse and most of the windows on the north wall of the nave are made by one workshop. These works are known for supple forms and costumes, with simplified features. The second workshop, named by Grodecki as Master of the Ezekiel window, made the Ezekiel and Daniel windows, as well as the window of the Kings. That work is characterized by elongated forms, and more elaborate and angular draperies. The third artist or workshop is called the Master of Judith and Esther, for the distinct style of those windows, as well as the window of Job. They are distinguished by more subtle details in the faces, and a resemblance to the figures in illuminated manuscripts.
Despite some damage the windows display a clear iconographical programme. The three windows of the eastern apse illustrate the New Testament, featuring scenes of The Passion (centre) with the Infancy of Christ (left) and the Life of John the Evangelist (right). By contrast, the windows of the nave are dominated by Old Testament exemplars of ideal kingship/queenship in an obvious nod to their royal patrons. The cycle starts at the western bay of the north wall with scenes from the Book of Genesis (heavily restored). The next ten windows of the nave follow clockwise with scenes from Exodus, Joseph, Numbers/Leviticus, Joshua/Deuteronomy, Judges, (moving to the south wall) Jeremiah/Tobias, Judith/Job, Esther, David and the Book of Kings. The final window, occupying the westernmost bay of the south wall brings this narrative of sacral kingship right up to date with a series of scenes showing the rediscovery of Christ's relics, the miracles they performed, and their relocation to Paris in the hands of King Louis himself.

The monastery of the Benedictine Order at Pannonhalma was founded in 996 in Western Hungary and had a major role in the diffusion of Christianity in medieval Central Europe. The monastery shows a stratification of different architectural styles and various buildings.
Among these buildings: a school (the first ever school founded in the country), the monastic complex – home to the monks whose life is still based on St. Benedict’s Rule ‘Ora et labora’ -, the tourist welcome points and hospitality facilities, the Chapel of Our Lady, the Millennium Chapel and the botanical and herbal gardens.

The great sacristy has a shallow cruciform plan, surmounted by a dome. Originally designed by Diego de Riaño ca. 1530, work carried on after his death in 1534 under Martín de Gainza and was completed ca. 1544. Designed in the Plateresque style, it houses the treasury. Among the displays are silver reliquaries and monstrances, and artworks by Goya, Murillo, and Zurbarán.
Fünfstetten is a municipality in the Bavarian district of Donau-Ries.
The municipality's Catholic parish church, outwardly simple, reveals itself as a true Rococo gem within. Built in 1626, the interior was redesigned in the Rococo style between 1765 and 1766. Rich rocailles stucco, probably by Andreas Henkel, and the magnificent frescoes by Johann Baptist Enderle characterize the magnificent appearance. The other Rococo furnishings, such as the pulpit, choir stalls, and pews, have also been preserved in their original form.

Il paesaggio dolomitico ha suscitato, da sempre, ammirazione e soggezione nell'uomo. Due sensazioni apparentemente lontane, eppure intimamente correlate, come sempre accade al cospetto delle manifestazioni grandiose della Natura. L'atteggiamento dell'uomo, dunque, si è distinto per la distaccata contemplazione ispirata dalla dimensione sacrale del paesaggio dolomitico, ma talvolta anche dal desiderio di esplorarne i segreti sommitali, non senza temerarietà ..... ..
The fortified early Gothic church from the first half of the 14th century was built on the site of an older building. In the 15th century it was fortified with a wall and a wooden bell tower was built on the grounds in 1657. The single-nave space with a square-ended presbytery and a built-in sacristy has a painted cassette ceiling from 1758, the presbytery is characteristic by its rib vault. The mural paintings date back to the 60s of the 14th century and the creator of at least a part of them is the Master of Ochtiná presbytery. These interior frescoes were discovered in the early 20th century by I. Huszka who was restoring them in 1905. All the paintings, interior and exterior ones, were completely restored between 1983 and 1985 by J. Josefík, L. Székely and I. Žuch.
Within the almost intact medieval church, the murals have a uniquely strong impression and informative value, thanks to their scale and complexity of preservation. Thematically they focus on individual scenes from the Marian and the Passion cycle, but they do not have a uniform concept unlike the upper belt on the nave’s northern wall with a complete depiction of the St. Ladislaus legend.
(Lago Segrino)
Il lago del Segrino (Lagh del Segrin in lombardo) è un piccolo lago lombardo prealpino di origine glaciale, in provincia di Como, situato tra i comuni di Canzo, Longone al Segrino e Eupilio. Si ritiene che il suo nome (Segrìn, in lombardo) derivi dall'adattamento latino (Sacrinum/Secrinum) del toponimo celtico segarinos, dal significato "ruscello del rispetto" (forse per la presenza di una necropoli o per la sacralità della fonte). È famoso per la qualità delle sue acque e per la sua felice e tranquilla posizione, che ispirò numerosi scrittori dell'Ottocento.
Tomb of Christopher Columbus is held by four allegorical figures representing the four kingdoms of Spain during Columbus’ life, Castille, Aragon, Navara, and Leon. The tomb was installed 1899 by Arturo Melida.
He travelled a lot not only in in his life but also after death. He died in 1506; the year Seville cathedral was completed, and was first interred in Valladolid. His bones were then moved to Seville. In 1542 they travelled across the Atlantic to Santo Domingo where his son had been a governor. The French took over Santo Domingo in 1795 and Columbus found himself on the move again, to Havana. After the Spanish American War, in 1898, Cuba became independent and the bones returned to Seville during the Cuban revolution in 1902 to finally come to rest in the monumental Late Romantic style tomb on display today.
The parish church of St. Quirinus in picturesque Tegernsee was once the church of Tegernsee Abbey.
In 719, Adalbert and Otkar, two noble brothers from the Huosi family, donated land for the construction of a monastery.
In 748, the first church was consecrated, dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul. From the beginning, the abbey was one of the richest and most powerful Benedictine monasteries in Bavaria, as it owned many lands and estates.
In 804, it came into possession of the relics of the martyr Quirin. Thus, the patronage changed from Saints Peter and Paul to Saint Quirinus.
Tegernsee, too, experienced periods of growth and decline throughout its history. However, the abbey was usually able to recover very quickly after a downturn, both economically and culturally.
In 1041, a Romanesque basilica was consecrated. The monastery survived the Thirty Years' War unscathed, though some of its lands were not spared. However, the monastery recovered quickly, and its economy rapidly rebounded.
In 1684, the Baroque transformation of the church began. Antonio Riva from Roveredo is believed to have been the architect. He retained the existing masonry, added a transept with a crossing in front of the Gothic choir, and vaulted the crossing with a pendentive dome.
From 1688 to 1689, the interior was decorated with stucco. The exact identity of those who carried out this work is unclear, but one name appears: Nicolo Perti. He could not have done the work alone, however; other masters from Italy were likely also involved. In 1689, Hans Georg Asam was commissioned to paint the frescoes. He completed this work in 1694. During this time, Asam also painted eight altarpieces and altarpieces for the monastery's branch churches.
There were 17 altars in the church, of which only five remain. The transept altars and the high altar were rebuilt in the Neoclassical style, with only the altarpieces being Baroque. The two side altars were spared Neoclassical alterations. Anton Bayr, an organ builder from Munich, rebuilt the organ on the west gallery in 1782/83. However, as is often the case, this organ was also rebuilt and altered several times.
The west front of the church remained unfinished for some time. It was only completed in the 19th century in the Neoclassical style.
In 1803, the monastery was secularized, and the monastery church became the parish church of Tegernsee.
In 1817, the King of Bavaria purchased the remaining convent buildings and had them converted into a private castle.
Ostrów Lednicki - the largest of the five islands on Lake Lednica, is one of the most important places in Polish history. On the island there is an archaeological site with preserved remains of the castle and the oldest in Poland, a complex of Preromian palace-sacral architecture (with baptismal basins) and a free-standing cemetery church. Both objects were erected during the reign of Mieszko I. Here, the Baptism of Poland took place in 966.

Ostrów Lednicki – największa z pięciu wysp na jeziorze Lednica, jest jednym z najważniejszych miejsc historii Polski. Na wyspie znajduje się stanowisko archeologiczne z zachowanymi pozostałościami grodu oraz najstarszego w Polsce zespołu preromańskiej architektury pałacowo-sakralnej (z basenami do chrztu) i wolno stojącego kościoła cmentarnego. Obydwa obiekty wzniesiono w czasach panowania Mieszka I. Tutaj prawdopodobne miał miejsce Chrzest Polski w 966 roku.
The door to the right as you enter the basilica leads to the crypt, a series of eerie vaults at the bottom of 50 steps, with tombs guarded by monoliths representing Mourning and Eternity. Among those at rest here are Cardinal József Mindszenty.
