In 1368, the Carmelite Monastery was founded in Straubing by Duke Albert I.
The monastery church was built between 1368 and 1430, and seven new altars were consecrated in 1370. The builders are Hans von Burghausen, Hans Krumenauer and Konrad von Straubing.
Wolfgang Dienzenhofer redesigned the church between 1700 and 1755 in the baroque style.
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.
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.
The collegiate church of the former monastery is located in Vornbach, near the banks of the Inn.
Established in 1050 by Countess Himiltrud von Vornbach as a collegiate monastery, the monastery was converted into a Benedictine monastery in 1094.
Around 1125 a double-towered basilica was built as a monastery church. This church was rebuilt between 1630 and 1637 in the Baroque style with the inclusion of the Romanesque surrounding walls. The church was redecorated in Rococo style between 1728 and 1733. Franz Ignaz Holzinger stuccoed the interior of the church while Innocent Anton Warathy paints the frescoes. On the west gallery there is an organ by Johann Ignaz Egedacher, which is largely preserved in the original.
The main south door, known as the Porta Speciosa, is faced with red marble and flanked by five pairs of columns. It has undergone several transformations and reconstructions since it was originally built in the 13th century. This door gives access to the Cloister, a typical square Late Gothic ensemble built in 1486. The vaulting springs form consoles that are elaborately decorated with symbolic motifs. The doors and windows were given their present form in the 1880s. Sculptured stones from the Romanesque cloister were found during studies carried out in the 1960s, when the door leading into the medieval refectory, with small red marble columns, also came to light.
Kühbach is a municipality in the Bavarian district of Aichach - Friedberg.
A Benedictine convent was founded there around the year 1000.
In 1577, after a fire, a new Gothic style church was built, but between 1687 and 1688 a new baroque church was built by the builder Giovanni Androi. He includes parts of the previous building.
The magnificent baroque stucco was probably made by Matthias Schmuzer the Younger. and its environment.
The rest of the furnishings are also rich and splendid.

Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (Mohelnice nad Jizerou, Bohemia)
The Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Mohelnice nad Jizerou (Mladá Boleslav district) is a stone sacral building from the second half of the 12th century. The church falls under the parish-deanery of Mnichovo Hradiště. In addition to the church itself, a part of the protected area is also the adjacent functional cemetery with a morgue and a wall.
The single-nave church has a rectangular floor plan. It was built by sandstone from Hrubá Skála, the masonry of precisely machined blocks is row-shaped, while each row has a different height. On the west side of the church there is a prismatic tower, on the east there is an apse, inside there is a glass conch. On the north side is a pseudo-Romanesque sacristy and a cross vault, completed during reconstruction in 1876.
The church was restored in 1876 in the spirit of historical purism of the 19th century by the architect Josef Mocker, known for his reconstructions and completions of a number of important medieval monuments, including St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague and Karlštejn Castle. After this purist reconstruction, the original Romanesque church was significantly changed. The windows were modified and enlarged, the ceiling in the nave was replaced, the main entrance to the church was relocated and the floor in the church was raised. Of the original windows, only one small four-leaf rose in the shape of a four-leafed rose, located on the southwest side of the church, has been preserved. During the reconstruction, a new staircase was also built from ground level, making the entrance hall accessible through the entrance from the ground floor of the bell tower on the west side of the church.

In 1750 Kaspar Radmiller built the pilgrimage church Heilig Kreuz in Mindelzell in the district of Günzburg.
The reason for the pilgrimage is a particle of the Holy Cross, which was received by the provost in front of Ursberg in 1230.
Martin Kuen paints the frescoes.
ENG: Hi, everybody out there. Somehow it's strange when the landmarks of a city are so empty. Only very few people have crossed my way on Monday during my little bike tour to free my head from the clinic everyday life. That is somehow eerie and surreal.
You can see the Berlin Cathedral Dome in Berlin's Mitte district.

GER: Hi ihr lieben da draußen. Irgendwie ist es schon komisch, wenn die Wahrzeichen einer Stadt so verweist sind. Nur ganz ganz wenige Leute haben meinen Weg am Montag gekreuzt bei meiner kleinen Radtour um den Kopf vom Klinik Alltag freizubekommen. Das ist schon irgendwie unheimlich und surreal.
Zu sehen ist der Berliner Dom im Berliner Ortsteil Mitte.

Una slanciata e pregevole chiesa romanica, eretta nella metà del XII secolo e sede vescovile fino ai primi anni del 1500 di un villaggio medioevale oggi scomparso. Nostra Signora di Castro deve il suo nome alla presenza nei suoi pressi di un forte romano, un “castrum”, che divenne poi il toponimo Castro, attribuito alla diocesi del borgo di cui fu appunto cattedrale. Il piccolo tempio è costruito in trachite con gradazioni di colore dal rosa al rosso, e presenta una scalinata sul davanti composta da cinque gradini. Su una delle fiancate si apre un portico, posteriore alla chiesa, formato da quattro arcate e collegato da un portale all’edificio maggiore.
Lo splendido contesto in cui è inserita la chiesa ne esalta la suggestione e conferisce al luogo una sacralità che appaga lo sguardo e lo spirito.

"Originario dell’Asia Minore, l’albero del noce, appartiene alla famiglia delle Juglandacee, dal termine latino “Iovis glans”, ghianda di Giove, a testimonianza della sacralità e del legame con la divinità, probabilmente grazie alla sua maestosità ed alla peculiarità di crescere in luoghi isolati, lontani da altre specie arboree. Quest’ultima caratteristica, si deve alla presenza di una sostanza tossica, la juglandina, secreta dalle radici e dalle foglie, che provoca la morte delle altre piante nelle vicinanze. L’albero del noce è stato importato prima in Grecia e poi a Roma, attorno al 100 a.C, e si è diffuso, successivamente, in tutta Europa grazie alle proprietà nutrizionali dei suoi frutti, molto calorici (ben 650 calorie per 100 grammi), ma ricchi di vitamina B, sali minerali, potassio, fosforo, calcio, ferro e magnesio. Tutte caratteristiche ideali, che ne hanno fatto alimento principe dell’alimentazione rurale, soprattutto nei lunghi periodi di carestia. Testimonianze dell’uso delle noci nell’alimentazione dei romani sono state rinvenute durante gli scavi di Ercolano, grazie al ritrovamento di alcuni frutti carbonizzati, mentre nei dipinti della Villa dei Misteri di Pompei sono raffigurati alcuni frutti. Proprio nell’area vesuviana e sulla costiera Sorrentina, vengono ancora prodotte le Noci di Sorrento, una delle specie più pregiate, di cui esistono due varietà certificate: una più allungata e leggermente appuntita da un lato e smussata alla base ed una seconda, più piccola e tondeggiante.
Versatili, oleose e dal sapore sfizioso e gradevole, le noci sono state usate, e lo sono ancora oggi, come ingredienti per la preparazione di gustose ricette, dagli antipasti, ai primi piatti ai dolci, senza dimenticare il pregiato liquore, il Nocino, o Nocello, che si ricava dai malli acerbi, raccolti, come tradizione vuole, il 24 giugno, la Notte di San Giovanni, che coincide con il Solstizio d’Estate. Tuttavia, fin dai tempi più antichi, il noce ed i suoi frutti sono stati oggetto di storie e leggende, che, nei secoli, hanno contribuito ad attribuire a questo albero ed ai suoi frutti una nomea più o meno sinistra, al punto che, ancora oggi, si usa il termine “nocivo” per indicare qualcosa di dannoso per la salute. In particolare, l’albero del noce è legato all’elemento femminile ed alle storie nate attorno alle streghe. Ma come si è arrivati a questa fama sinistra? Indubbiamente, fin dai tempi più antichi, il noce è stato amato ed odiato: indispensabile dal punto di vista alimentare, da un lato, temuto per le leggende nate attorno alle sue fronde, dall’altro."

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.
The parish church of Arth in the Swiss canton Schwyz, is an important early baroque church of Switzerland. Built between 1694 – 1697 this sacral building is a striking landmark of this town.
The black altars are a contrast to the white interior, they were built by Johann Jörg Hagenmüller.

En amor y por amor a la Tierra, y a todos los seres que la habitamos.

Despite the St.Stephens Cathedral being undoubtedly Viennas most famous church it is certainly not the oldest. The St.Peters church which is located in the immediate vicinity of the St.Stephens Cathedral was (re-)built in the second half of the 4th century. Originally the Roman building served for military purposes. At that time Vienna went by the name of Vindobona, and was a Roman fort.
The picture shows the dome of the church with it's stunning fresco.
The pilgrimage church of the Birth of Mary in Schießen, a community near the former Roggenburg monastery, was rebuilt between 1681 and 1686, as the pilgrimage to Schießen is becoming increasingly popular and the old church is becoming too small.
In 1781 the church was renovated and painted in line with the new zeitgeist. The Weissenhorn artists Christian Eitele and Konrad Huber are among those involved.

Ilsenburg Abbey (German: Kloster Ilsenburg) was a monastery of the Benedictine Order located at Ilsenburg near Wernigerode, in Saxony-Anhalt in Germany. The former abbey is a stop on the Romanesque Road.
The monastery was built in the Saxon lands of Eastphalia at the site of a former Pfalz and hunting lodge, mentioned as Elysynaburg in a 995 deed issued by King Otto III.
On 15 April 1003 King Henry II donated the estate for this purpose to the Bishop of Halberstadt, and the abbey had been founded by 1009. In 1018 the Halberstadt bishop vested the monastery with further possessions around Ilsenburg and Osterwieck. The first monks possibly descended from Fulda Abbey in Franconia.
Fostered by Bishop Burchard II of Halberstadt from about 1070, the convent experienced a flourishing period whereupon numerous filial monasteries were established, such as Huysburg, and the abbeys of Harsefeld, Hillersleben, and Wimmelburg.
A larger Romanesque church was erected and dedicated to Sts Peter and Paul on 5 June 1087; including the oldest preserved three-aisled choir of all Benedictine sacral buildings in Germany.
The adjacent cloister buildings were erected after a blaze in 1120 and finished in 1176. The monastic community included up to 25 monks, it joined the Benedictine Bursfelde Congregation in 1464/65.

Die Jesuitenkirche ist der erste grosse, sakrale Barockbau in der Schweiz.
1666 begann der Bau, 1677 wurde die Jesuitenkirche feierlich eingeweiht. Eindrucksvoll ist auch die Akustik des prächtigen Kirchenraumes. Er dient heute neben Gottesdiensten auch der Ausbildung von Organisten der Luzerner Hochschule für Musik und als Konzertlokalität.
The Jesuit Church is the first large, sacral Baroque building in Switzerland.
Construction began in 1666, and in 1677 the Jesuit church was inaugurated. Impressive are also the acoustics of the magnificent church space. Today, in addition to services, it also serves as a training place for organists at the Lucerne University of Music and as a concert venue.

Sveti Stefan - Demir Kilise / İstanbul, Türkiye
Für die bulgarisch-orthodoxe Kirche St. Stefan wurden 1893-96 fünfhundert Tonnen Eisen und Stahl verbaut. Sie steht am Goldenen Horn in Istanbul.

For the construction of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church of St. Stephen in the years 1893-96 five hundred tons of iron and steel were installed. It stands on the Golden Horn in Istanbul.
For more information see corresponding links on the Internet.
It was to be five domes, based on the model of the Holy Sepulcher of St. Anthony in Padua, as the client, Pastor Johann Ulrich Julius, wanted it. But such an execution clearly exceeds the financial means of the parish. But master builder Johann Georg Fischer built the desired five domes, not visible from the outside, as a so-called pendentive dome without a drum ring, a nave dome, a dome above the crossing and in the choir, as well as the domes in the two side chapels.
In 1727 Fischer delivered the final design, and the first mass could be celebrated in the church as early as 1733. Fischer entrusts the construction work to his foreman Paul Bienz.
Ignaz Finsterwalder contributes significantly to the splendid furnishings with his stucco. The frescoes, created by Matthias Wolcker and Anton Wenzeslaus Haffe, are also excellent work.
When the mighty blooming spirits of the Spring appear among our reality and whisper us about the sacral beauty...
