The Monastery at Lébény was established between 1199 and 1203, by a nobleman, for private worship. The complex was dedicated to the Apostle Saint James the Great. Though the existing charter for approving the donations and construction was signed by Andreas II (1208), one of the walls of the church had “1206” engraved in them, which may indicate that the church was already built at that time. It is also mentioned in the RegestrumVaradiense (an important language memorial), which was made in the late cathedral chapter of the present Oradea (Nagyvárad) in the 13th century. The monastery of Lébény was attacked and burnt down several times; the first by Mongols, then the second by King Ottokar I of Bohemia; and thereafter by the Turks, which was probably in 1529 and definitely in 1683. The monastery was taken back from the Turks by the arch-abbot of Pannonhalma in 1540. He named a new abbot, though the title only existed on paper for a little bit longer than two decades. In 1563 the monastery was burnt down again for the third time and was left devoured. Presently, the only part of the complex that is still standing is the iconic three-nave Romanesque church in the middle of Lébény village. This church is one of the most important Romanesque style buildings of Hungary, which was most probably restored in the 17th century by the Jesuits, and it was the first ever Hungarian monument that was restored in the second half of the 19th century. In addition, the Romanesque church is also operating as a parish of the village.

Kalkar is a municipality in the district of Kleve, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located near the Rhine, approx. 10 km south-east of Cleves. The most famous building of Kalkar is its church St. Nicolai, which has one of the most significant sacral inventory from the late Middle Ages in Europe or the Brick Gothic town hall build in 1446.
Kalkar was founded by Dirk VI of Cleves in 1230 and received city rights in 1242. It was one of the seven "capitals" of Cleves (called Kleve), until the line of the Duchy of Cleves died out in 1609, whereupon the city went over to the Margraviate of Brandenburg. Marie of Burgundy, Duchess of Cleves retired to Monreberg castle in Kalkar, where she founded a Dominican convent in 1455. Under her influence the city bloomed and artists were attracted to the favorable climate for cultural investment. She died at Monreberg castle in 1463.

In the middle of Landshut is the Cistercian convent Seligenthal, which was donated in 1232. Construction of the church began soon after the monastery was founded.
From 1732 to 1734 the church was rebuilt by Johann Georg Hirschstötter according to plans by Johann Baptist Gunetzrhainer. Johann Baptist Zimmermann and his two sons make the stucco and paint the frescoes.
The Aldersbach Cistercian brother Kaspar Grießemann provides the plans for the altars, the figures come from the workshop of Wenzeslaus Johann.

Euphrasiana Basilica is one of the most precious cultural monuments of the city of Porec and one of the most important sacral buildings in Croatia. You can find the Euphrasian Basilica on the northern side of the Old Town peninsula.
In the period from the 3rd to the 6th century, four church buildings were built in Porec, which was initially still under Roman influence and was known as "Julia Parentium". Of these four sacral buildings, only the Basilica of Euphrasius, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997, is still preserved.
The interior of the basilica, magnificently decorated with mosaics and works of art, and the other buildings of the complex, such as the atrium, the baptistery and, of course, the bell tower towering over the old town, attract visitors and believers from all over the world every day. From the 35 m high bell tower, which was built in 1522, guests enjoy a fantastic view over one of the most beautiful old towns of the Istrian region.
One of the most charming medieval churches in the Gemer region is preserved in the village of Chyžné, near Jelšava. Its tall east-oriented brick gable and massive fortifications around the church dominates its surroundings. The church was built in the second half of the 13th century as a one-nave edifice with a quadratic chancel and an annexed sacristy. Later, a detached belltower, a traditional wooden construction from the 18th century, and a groundfloor building of a former school were added. The church chancel is vaulted by a cross ribbed vault, and the nave has a flat painted ceiling. The walls and vaults of the chancel, including the so-called Triumphal Arch, are covered with frescos dating back to the 70s-80s of the 14th century.
A jewel among churches - the wooden Church of 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”.

Das Dekagon (Zehneck) des Hauptraumes von St. Gereon in Köln, einer der bedeutensten romanischen Kirchenbauten auf deutschem Boden. Im Kern auf Reste aus dem 4. Jahrhundert zurückgehend, stellt der Ovalbau eines der ältesten Beispiele antiker Repräsentationsarchitektur dar. Der heute zu sehende zehneckige Bau stammt von 1220 und ist der grösste mit einer Kuppel frei überwölbte Bau des Mittelalters nördlich der Alpen.
Köln besitzt heute noch 12 romanische Kirchen, im Mittelalter war die Stadt eine der Bedeutendsten in Europa.
The decagon (ten-sided figure) of the main assembly of Saint Gereon,city of Cologne (Germany) is one of the most important sacral building on German grounds. The core area based on relicts of the 4th century and is one of the oldest example of an antique representational building. The nowadays visible decagon was founded in 1220 and is the biggest medieval building northside of the Alps which is free vaulted by a cupola. Cologne has still 12 romanic churches nowadays on its ground as it was one of the most important cities in medieval times.
For this picture I used a very rare vintage lens, the Olympus OM 3.5 24mm shift with the possibility of a perspective correction. Just a very little amount of this lenses have been produced by Olympus in the 80ies.
From 1766 to 1768 Johann Georg Hitzelberger built the new parish church in Balzhausen, in what is now the district of Günzburg.
Johann Baptist Bergmüller paints the frescoes, they are donated by the pastor from Balzhausen. Franz Hölzle stuccoed the church in fine rocailles.
Johann Bergmüller, a carpenter from Krumbach, made the high altar in 1777.
The Renaissance castle chapel of All Saints growing from the mass of the southern palace was completed in 1580 as the final resting place of Zacharias of Hradec and his wife. The unique chapel space with rich decoration belongs to the gems of funeral architecture.
The building represents a completely unique type of funeral chapel connected directly to the castle buildings in Bohemia. Due to its uniqueness, the castle sacred space with a burial function has only very general analogies, apparently originating from a French environment. The chapel was built on the site of a medieval sacral building, probably of the same dedication, which was located in the forecourt of the older Telč castle. The location of the chapel determined the layout of the southeast wing of the Renaissance castle, to which the chapel adjoins on the west side. The current family funeral chapel was built by Zachariaš from Hradec in the early 1970s at the initiative of tragic events that befell his immediate family circle. Builders and artists from northern Italy participated in the implementation. Construction work was completed as early as 1580. However, the rich interior decoration of the chapel was completed during the following decade. It was apparently completely completed in the years 1589-1590, when the altar was completed. In 1589, Zacharias of Hradec was ceremoniously buried in it, and the remains of his wife Kateřina of Valdštejn and son Menhart Lev were also transferred to it.
The Monastery at Lébény was established between 1199 and 1203, by a nobleman, for private worship. The complex was dedicated to the Apostle Saint James the Great. Though the existing charter for approving the donations and construction was signed by Andreas II (1208), one of the walls of the church had “1206” engraved in them, which may indicate that the church was already built at that time. It is also mentioned in the RegestrumVaradiense (an important language memorial), which was made in the late cathedral chapter of the present Oradea (Nagyvárad) in the 13th century. The monastery of Lébény was attacked and burnt down several times; the first by Mongols, then the second by King Ottokar I of Bohemia; and thereafter by the Turks, which was probably in 1529 and definitely in 1683. The monastery was taken back from the Turks by the arch-abbot of Pannonhalma in 1540. He named a new abbot, though the title only existed on paper for a little bit longer than two decades. In 1563 the monastery was burnt down again for the third time and was left devoured. Presently, the only part of the complex that is still standing is the iconic three-nave Romanesque church in the middle of Lébény village. This church is one of the most important Romanesque style buildings of Hungary, which was most probably restored in the 17th century by the Jesuits, and it was the first ever Hungarian monument that was restored in the second half of the 19th century. In addition, the Romanesque church is also operating as a parish of the village.
ENG: You cann see the reconstructed evangelic St. Nikolai church from 1837 in Potsdam at the Old Market Square. The listed sacral building was designed by the architects Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Ludwig Persius and Friedrich August Stüler. A special feature is the tambour dome of the 77 metre high building, which rises far above the roofs of the city and was erected between 1843 and 1850.
Towards the end of the Second World War, the sacred building was struck during the air raid on Potsdam and subsequently severely damaged by Soviet artillery fire. After many years of reconstruction, the church of the Evangelical Church of St. Nicholas in Potsdam was consecrated again in 1981 and has been open to visitors daily ever since. In addition to church services, concerts are also held in the Nikolaikirche.
GER: Sie können hier die rekonstruierte evangelische St. Nikolai-Kirche von 1837 in Potsdam auf dem Alten Marktplatz sehen. Der unter Denkmalschutz stehender Sakralbau stammt aus der Architekten Feder von Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Ludwig Persius sowie Friedrich August Stüler. Eine Besonderheit ist die weit über den Dächern der Stadt emporragende Tambourkuppel des 77 Meter hohen Gebäudes, diese wurde in der Zeit von 1843 bis 1850 errichtet.
Gegen Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde der Sakralbau beim Luftangriff auf Potsdam getroffen und anschließend durch sowjetischen Artilleriebeschuss schwer beschädigt. Nach langen Jahren des Wiederaufbaus konnte das Gotteshaus der Evangelischen St.-Nikolai-Kirchengemeinde Potsdam 1981 erneut geweiht werden und ist seitdem täglich für Besucher geöffnet. Neben den Gottesdiensten finden in der Nikolaikirche auch Konzertveranstaltungen statt.
