Construction of the school church in Amberg began in 1696, based on plans by master builder Wolfgang Dientzenhofer. This church was originally built for the Salesian convent.
It was consecrated in 1699 by the Regensburg Auxiliary Bishop, Albert Ernst Graf von Wartenberg.
As early as 1758, the church was expanded, and at the same time, it also received its Rococo furnishings.
Anton Landes, nephew and student of Johann Baptist Zimmermann, carried out the stucco work.
The church interior was frescoed by Gottfried Bernhard Götz. He also painted all the altarpieces.
The remaining furnishings were created by craftsmen and masters from Amberg. One of them was Franz Joachim Schlott. The high altar, pulpit, confessionals, and organ front all came from his workshop. The side altars are works by Johann Peter Hirsch and Johann Wolfgang Eder.
The organ in this church also underwent several modifications and new constructions. The first organ, dating from 1760, came from the organ workshop of Johann Konrad Funtsch from Amberg. Today, an instrument by Hubert Sandtner from Dillingen an der Donau is located in the Rococo façade.
Today, the church is part of the Dr. Johanna Decker Schools, a private grammar school and secondary school for girls.
The school church is considered one of the most important Rococo churches in Germany.
The Chapelle Saint-Pierre (Saint Peter's Chapel) dates from the sixteenth century. Used as a storeroom for local fishermen's nets and equipment for most of the 19th and early part of the 20th century, it was eventually restored in 1957. The interior of the chapel was decorated by the artist Jean Cocteau with many paintings/murals. Unfortunately, it is not allowed to take pictures of them.
Villefranche-sur-Mer is located on the French Riviera between the city of Nice and Monaco.

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 landmark of Beuerberg, a district of Eurasburg in the Upper Bavarian district of Bad Tölz - Wolfratshausen, is the monastery and the monastery church of St. Peter and Paul. The monastery was founded in 1121.
In 1628 the nave and the southern aisle of the Romanesque porch of the church collapsed. The reason was previous damage, probably from the master builder Bartholomäus Steinle overloading the nave with stucco. A new building was necessary. Provost Mayr sent a request for help to Elector Maximilian. But the court refused to help directly, but sent Heinrich Schön the Elder and master mason Isaak Pader the Elder as assessors. Under the latter, the new building was completed in 1630 (year above the choir arch). However, the church was not consecrated until 1635. There are eleven altars in the church. These early Baroque treasures have been preserved to this day.
The high altar comes from the previous building, but is being rebuilt in a different form. The altarpiece shows the Deposition from the Cross, painted in 1645 by Elias Greither the Elder.
The pulpit dates from 1782 and already shows early Classicist allusions. The organ facade is also an early Classicist work.
The gleaming white church interior is an example of early Baroque architecture with wall pillars as altar niches, and the stucco also shows early Baroque forms.
In August 1913, the foundation stone was laid for the new church in Schonach in the Black Forest, which was consecrated by the Archbishop of Freiburg in May 1922. However, the interior was not completed until the 1950s, the new organ was consecrated in 1954 and Josef Braun from Wangen completed the painting of the church in 1956/57. Eduard Kuner from Schonach stuccoed the church in the Baroque style.
The reason for the new building was that the old church had become too small, i.e. a larger church was needed.
In 1906, the first plans for the new building were drawn up, which were approved in 1912. Only the Gothic tower of the previous church remained. The basement of the tower was the former choir, now this is the entrance area.
Angelo Valentin, a wood sculptor from Offenburg, made the high altar. The high altar painting is much older, but it is unknown who painted it. The neo-baroque organ facade is also by Valentin. It contains an organ by the Freiburg organ builder Willi Dold.

Behind the north-facing wall of the Chapel of the Black Madonna is the Chapel of Blessed Luke Belludi, a disciple and companion of St. Anthony.
After the Saint’s death Luke continued his apostolate, and it was probably due to his insistence that the Basilica was built.
The beautiful altar dates from the 13th century and is surround ed with frescoes by Giusto de’ Menabuoi (1382). They depict:
Our Lady Enthroned Among Franciscan Saints (centre);
two episodes from The Intercession of Blessed Luke (to the sides of the al tar);
in other sections some episodes drawn from the Golden Legend concerning the Apostles Phillip and James can be admired.
The mortal remains of Blessed Luke are kept in the ark that forms the altar table.
Crucifixion Group - You can find it on the end of the northern (left) nave of the church, where it encloses this entire temple space.
It is a three-dimensional figural work, where the central wooden cross with the sculpture of the Crucified Christ is flanked on the sides by free-standing statues of the mourning Virgin Mary and St. John the Evangelist.
This sculptural composition forms a historical superstructure of one of the side altars of the church.
The Bakócz chapel is the earliest Italian Renaissance-style building north of the Alps. It is also the first fully Renaissance-era, centrally planned ecclesiastical building outside of Italy. It is a groundbreaking and influential structure, which uniquely fuses the style of Tuscan (central Italian) early Renaissance with Hungarian architectural traditions.
Church of St. John of Dukla and Monastery of Bernadine monks - the church with two towers was built between 1761 and 1764 in the late baroque style. The temple was extended from 1890 to 1902 when a chapel of St. John of Dukla was built and the main nave was enlarged. Also monastery building was added. The interior dates back to the turn of the 19th century. The paintings of Tadeusz Popiel present scenes from life of St. John of Dukla. There is a silver coffin with relics of St. John. Pope John Paul II came to Dukla on 9th of August, a day before the canonization event and he spent a night in the monastery
Retrochoir of the Roman Catholic cathedral of Seville, Seville, Spain. This wonderful Baroque style retrochoir is work of Miguel de Zumárraga and was finalized in 1635. It was constructed with precious materials like marmor or jasper and it's decorated with bas-relieves and bronce busts. The gothic painting in the middle shows the Virgin of Los Remedios, very popular in the Reconquista times and still very devoted in Spain
A jewel among churches - the wooden Church of St. St. Nicholas is one of the oldest and most beautiful wooden churches in Slovakia. The three-part log building with a richly ornamented shingled roof and three towers was built in 1658. In 2008 it was entered in the UNESCO World Heritage List together with seven other wooden churches from the area of Slovak Carpathians.
The sacral monument is a part of a unique complex located in the center of Bodružal in the Svidník district. In addition to the temple, it also consists of a separate bell tower, an adjacent cemetery and a wooden fence with a shingled roof and an entrance gate covered by a conical roof.
The three church towers symbolizing the Holy Trinity will catch your attention for sure. The highest tower houses the bells, which were used for military purposes at the beginning of the World War I - the inhabitants of the village replaced them in the second half of the 1920s. The oldest preserved bell features the inscription “1759”.

Hallgrímskirkja (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈhatl̥krimsˌcʰɪr̥ca], church of Hallgrímur) is a Lutheran (Church of Iceland) parish church in Reykjavík, Iceland. At 74.5 metres (244 ft) high, it is the largest church in Iceland and among the tallest structures in the country.
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.

St. Sebastian, formerly the monastery church in the Upper Bavarian municipality of Ebersberg, is a gem of baroque church architecture.
In 934, the Counts of Ebersberg established an Augustinian canonry in Ebersberg.
Hunfried, the first provost of the canonry, brought the skull of St. Sebastian to Ebersberg from a trip to Rome. This increased the flow of pilgrims and financial donations. In 970, the pre-Romanesque church was completed.
In 1070, Count Ulrich converted the monastery into a Benedictine abbey. The Romanesque church building was built in the 1120s. It forms the core of the current church. Several new buildings and renovations, including a fire, changed the face of the church.
The Benedictine monastery experienced a decline during the Reformation years. Duke Wilhelm V handed the monastery over to the Jesuits in 1595.
After the Thirty Years' War, the monastery buildings were renovated. The upper sacristy was converted into the Sebastian Chapel between 1668 and 1671. The Jesuit order was abolished in 1773.
The interior of the church was redesigned in the Baroque style in 1733/34, the choir received its Rococo decor in 1751/52, and the nave followed in 1764. In 1781, a fire destroyed the vaults of the church. It was rebuilt in the early classicist style. The frescoes were by Franz Seraph Kirzinger.

St. Martin's Chapel, 1085m asl
The original Chapel:
The Chapel of St. Martin is located on an old pass road that may have existed since the La Tène period (5th-1st century BC). Based on this assumption, the sacred building is a connection between Celtic and early Christian culture in this area. Excavations of 1958 have proved that in the place of the present chapel as early as 800 a sacral building, possibly a pagan source sanctuary, existed.
The medieval chapel:
In the Middle Ages , a new chapel was built, but the old foundations and possibly also parts of the remaining outer walls were reused. This is probably to be dated in late gothic time. After the chapel was partially destroyed during the Thirty Years' War , a new roof and a new ceiling were built. In the middle part of this is still preserved today and bears the year 1672. (Wikip.)
A pleasant valley of the meandering Muráň river south of Jelšava has a significant landmark. You cannot overlook the strategically interesting hill above the village of Šivetice, on which a brick Romanesque church dedicated to St. Margaret of Antioch was built in the middle of the 13th century. Šivetice belonged to the Jelšava estate back then and from the 15th century on was administered by the Castle of Muráň. In the past, the village was known for its typical ceramics.
The church has the shape of a rotunda with an internal diameter of 11 m and is one of the largest structures with circular footprint in Central Europe. In addition to the primary sacral significance, it is assumed that the rotunda originally served as a watchtower, taking into consideration its location on a hill and its proximity of a castle (that no longer exists). During the 14th century, the interior of the church was divided into a nave and a chancel by a monumental pointed triumphal arch. Original Romanesque murals depicting scenes from the legend of St. Margaret were covered by gothic paintings with the same theme and complemented with scenes of the Passion Cycle. Like many other Gemer temples, the rotunda of Šivetice belonged in the 17th century to the Evangelical Lutheran church. In the 18th century, the church was partially rebuilt into Baroque style and the bell tower with the entrance gate was inserted into the stone wall. A cemetery is surrounding the church nowadays.
Il Sistema naturale ha affidato a ciascun individuo di qualsiasi specie vivente due adempimenti imprescindibili: nutrirsi quotidianamente per sopravvivere e accoppiarsi per tramandare i propri geni e garantire la continuità della specie.
