Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas_Church,_Ghent:
St. Nicholas Church (Dutch: Sint-Niklaaskerk) is one of the oldest and most prominent landmarks in Ghent, Belgium. Begun in the early 13th century as a replacement for an earlier Romanesque church, construction continued through the rest of the century in the local Scheldt Gothic style (named after the nearby river). Typical of this style is the use of blue-gray stone from the Tournai area, the single large tower above the crossing, and the slender turrets at the building's corners.
Built in the old trade center of Ghent next to the bustling Korenmarkt (Wheat Market), St. Nicholas Church was popular with the guilds whose members carried out their business nearby. The guilds had their own chapels which were added to the sides of the church in the 14th and 15th centuries.
The central tower, which was funded in part by the city, served as an observation post and carried the town bells until the neighboring belfry of Ghent was built. These two towers, along with the Saint Bavo Cathedral, still define the famous medieval skyline of the city center. One of the treasures of the church is its organ, produced by the famous French organ builder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll.
The organ in the Saint Nicholas Church is one of the most important romantic organs of Belgium. It was built by the noted French organ builder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll.
Market Day stalls and end of trading for the day. This is my home town of Newcastle-under-Lyme. Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre (traffic free zone) hosts a market on six days a week and operates from 9am to 4pm each day selling a wide range of goods. From 1871 there was a cattle market too, housed in the Smithfield
Cattle Market. But sadly that moved out of town to the outskirts of the town of Market Drayton some years ago, more space required.
49. A Civic/Government/Public Building - 117/2017
Market and Guild Hall info from BBC - Domesday Reloaded.
The first market place was in Upper
Green now the A34 Road. This moved to
the High Street about 1280. The whole of
the present High Street would have been
a Large Market place. In 1203 the
original Sunday Market was moved to
Saturday, then to Monday in 1590. In the
early 19th century, Saturday became a 2nd
market day and later Friday a 3rd. In
1853 the first covered market was built
to supplement the portable street
market and to offer a halfway house
between shop and stall. This was
replaced in 1963 by a more up-to-date
covered market.
Guildhall
Newcastle Guildhall was built by an
employers association in about 1235. It
was then that Henry III recognised that
Newcastle was more than an ordinary
market town and so granted the Townsman
the right to form a Guild Merchant. They
quickly became the most powerful
force, both economically and
politically, in Newcastle. Later on when
a town council emerged to administer
the town the Guild became less
important, but in a continuing memorial
the Town Councils meeting place has
continued to be called a Guildhall
rather than a Town Hall. The Guildhall
today, which is a little to the south
of the original site, is used for many
functions. Various organisations hire it
for many things from Jumble Sales to
plays. Whatever its many uses today it
is still a beautiful building which
dominates the Newcastle Market Square.
Two housing complexes with two very different stories. In the foregrounds is Hopkins Charity, a square of cottages built around a private garden. Behind the old buildings the new construction is called Neo Bankside.
Charles Hopton was born c. 1654 into a wealthy merchant family and admitted in infancy to the Guild of Fishmongers.At his death in 1731 his will provided for almshouses to be built in the parish of Christchurch, Blackfriars for poor single men. By 1749, 26 cottages have been completed and have been occupied continually since July of 1752.
Neo Bankside, aptly renamed "Neo Blingside" because of the many manipulations they used to cut out the affordable housing that was in the original plan, once occupied went as far as the Supreme Court to close the upper floors of the Tate Modern in order to prevent museumgoers from looking into their apartments.
An interesting comparison of changing times. On my last London visit floors 6 thru 10 of the Tate Modern Blavatnik Building were closed and Hopton's Almshouses no longer sees the morning sun.

The Halászbástya or Fisherman's Bastion is a terrace in neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque style situated on the Buda bank of the Danube, on the Castle hill in Budapest, around Matthias Church. The Bastion takes its name from the guild of fishermen that was responsible for defending this stretch of the city walls in the Middle Ages. It is a viewing terrace, with many stairs and walking paths. Its seven towers represent the seven Magyar tribes that settled in the Carpathian Basin in 896.
Not your usual shot of Budapest that you find on postcards and books, reason being that it has been captured from top corner suite of Hilton hotel, which has some of the best views over the city. There is nothing I enjoy more than having the perfect view from the hotel room !! So when I get up for the morning shots at 4 AM, I only have to crawl out of bed and push the button... ;-) (although that is also not always the easiest as most hotel with high floors dont allow to have windows open, so you have to deal with various reflections on the glass etc..)

Ever since Jonas Wide's Fighting Pit of Mophet I've wanted to visit the concept myself, and the Guilds of Historica Ancient Wonders category sent me back to the idea. Plus it coincided with a burst of inspiration triggered by all the epic Summer Joust builds we were treated to a few months back. So I decided to do my best to build The Fighting Pit, not just of some town like Mophet or Kaligem, but THE Fighting Pit of the entire guild. How'd I do? ;)
This build took me four or five weeks and uses hands down the most minifigures I've ever used in a single MOC. Take a look at the time lapse video (do take a look, the first minute is pretty cool...) or all the extra pictures on my blog.

This was my contribution to the Guilds of Historica collaboration at Brickworld this year. I built the entire landscape and started on the buildings, before getting Isaac’s help to finish the model in time. The base split into three portions, and all the buildings were easily removable to allow for convenient transport of the build. It had been a while since I’d done a proper Middle Eastern scene, so it was a really fun build and I think turned out as one of my best Castle models yet.
Be sure to check out multiple pictures, as the build is viewable from all sides. More angles and close ups available on Brickbuilt.

Here is the final installment in my series of prizes for the Guild Evolution category of the 2024 Summer Joust
The settlement’s new dragon comrades gained them quite the reputation in the coming years. Intelligent and loyal, they were well suited to working together with the cartographers, hunters and trackers of the settlement. Together they could defeat even the most bloodthirsty of beasts that sometimes ventured out of Alnya’s deep forest, quickly deliver important messages, or find missing people. Their services were in high demand and earned them many generous rewards. And so an Adventurer’s Guild was formed where their many unique talents could be put to use solving problems others couldn’t. A large fortress was built with harbor, town, and farms springing up around it to house and supply the increasing number of recruits who came from afar to try and prove their mettle and gain admission.

Another build for the Guilds of Historica forums on Eurobricks. I tried different backgrounds on some shots. More pics to come soon!

The Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (Italian pronunciation: [katteˈdraːle di ˈsanta maˈriːa del ˈfjoːre]; in English "Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flowers") is the main church of Florence, Italy. Il Duomo di Firenze, as it is ordinarily called, was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style with the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436 with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink bordered by white and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
The cathedral complex, located in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. These three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic centre of Florence and are a major attraction to tourists visiting Tuscany. The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches, and until development of new structural materials in the modern era, the dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.
The cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence, whose archbishop is currently Giuseppe Betori.
Santa Maria del Fiore was built on the site of an earlier cathedral dedicated to Saint Reparata. The ancient structure, founded in the early 5th century and having undergone many repairs, was crumbling with age, according to the 14th-century Nuova Cronica of Giovanni Villani, and was no longer large enough to serve the growing population of the city. Other major Tuscan cities had undertaken ambitious reconstructions of their cathedrals during the Late Medieval period, such as Pisa and particularly Siena where the enormous proposed extensions were never completed.
Giotto's bell tower (campanile)
The new church was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio and approved by city council in 1294. Di Cambio was also architect of the church of Santa Croce and the Palazzo Vecchio. He designed three wide naves ending under the octagonal dome, with the middle nave covering the area of Santa Reparata. The first stone was laid on September 9, 1296, by Cardinal Valeriana, the first papal legate ever sent to Florence. The building of this vast project was to last 140 years; Arnolfo's plan for the eastern end, although maintained in concept, was greatly expanded in size.
After Arnolfo died in 1310, work on the cathedral slowed for thirty years. When the relics of Saint Zenobius were discovered in 1330 in Santa Reparata, the project gained a new impetus. In 1331, the Arte della Lana, the guild of wool merchants, took over patronage for the construction of the cathedral and in 1334 appointed Giotto to oversee the work. Assisted by Andrea Pisano, Giotto continued di Cambio's design. His major accomplishment was the building of the campanile. When Giotto died in 1337, Andrea Pisano continued the building until work was halted due to the Black Death in 1348.
In 1349, work resumed on the cathedral under a series of architects, starting with Francesco Talenti, who finished the campanile and enlarged the overall project to include the apse and the side chapels. In 1359, Talenti was succeeded by Giovanni di Lapo Ghini (1360–1369) who divided the center nave in four square bays. Other architects were Alberto Arnoldi, Giovanni d'Ambrogio, Neri di Fioravante and Andrea Orcagna. By 1375, the old church Santa Reparata was pulled down. The nave was finished by 1380, and by 1418, only the dome remained incomplete.
On 18 August 1418, the Arte della Lana announced an architectural design competition for erecting Neri's dome. The two main competitors were two master goldsmiths, Lorenzo Ghiberti and Filippo Brunelleschi, the latter of whom was supported by Cosimo de Medici. Ghiberti had been the winner of a competition for a pair of bronze doors for the Baptistery in 1401 and lifelong competition between the two remained sharp. Brunelleschi won and received the commission.
Ghiberti, appointed coadjutator, drew a salary equal to Brunelleschi's and, though neither was awarded the announced prize of 200 florins, was promised equal credit, although he spent most of his time on other projects. When Brunelleschi became ill, or feigned illness, the project was briefly in the hands of Ghiberti. But Ghiberti soon had to admit that the whole project was beyond him. In 1423, Brunelleschi was back in charge and took over sole responsibility.
Work started on the dome in 1420 and was completed in 1436. The cathedral was consecrated by Pope Eugene IV on March 25, 1436, (the first day of the year according to the Florentine calendar). It was the first 'octagonal' dome in history to be built without a temporary wooden supporting frame. It was one of the most impressive projects of the Renaissance. During the consecration in 1436, Guillaume Dufay's motet Nuper rosarum flores was performed. The structure of this motet was strongly influenced by the structure of the dome.
The decoration of the exterior of the cathedral, begun in the 14th century, was not completed until 1887, when the polychrome marble façade was completed with the design of Emilio De Fabris. The floor of the church was relaid in marble tiles in the 16th century.
The exterior walls are faced in alternate vertical and horizontal bands of polychrome marble from Carrara (white), Prato (green), Siena (red), Lavenza and a few other places. These marble bands had to repeat the already existing bands on the walls of the earlier adjacent baptistery the Battistero di San Giovanni and Giotto's Bell Tower. There are two side doors: the Doors of the Canonici (south side) and the Door of the Mandorla (north side) with sculptures by Nanni di Banco, Donatello, and Jacopo della Quercia. The six side windows, notable for their delicate tracery and ornaments, are separated by pilasters. Only the four windows closest to the transept admit light; the other two are merely ornamental. The clerestory windows are round, a common feature in Italian Gothic.
During its long history, this cathedral has been the seat of the Council of Florence (1439), heard the preachings of Girolamo Savonarola and witnessed the murder of Giuliano di Piero de' Medici on Sunday, 26 April 1478 (with Lorenzo Il Magnifico barely escaping death), in the Pazzi conspiracy.

Florence (/ˈflɒrəns/ FLOR-əns; Italian: Firenze [fiˈrɛntse] ( listen)) is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany and of the Metropolitan City of Florence. It is the most populous city in Tuscany, with approximately 382,000 inhabitants, expanding to over 1,520,000 in the metropolitan area.
Florence was a centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance, and has been called "the Athens of the Middle Ages". A turbulent political history includes periods of rule by the powerful Medici family, and numerous religious and republican revolutions. From 1865 to 1871 the city was the capital of the recently established Kingdom of Italy.
The Historic Centre of Florence attracts 13 millions of tourists each year, and Euromonitor International ranked the city as the world's 89th most visited in 2012, with 1.8 million visitors. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. The city is noted for its culture, Renaissance art and architecture and monuments. The city also contains numerous museums and art galleries, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Palazzo Pitti, and still exerts an influence in the fields of art, culture and politics. Due to Florence's artistic and architectural heritage, it has been ranked by Forbes as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Florence is an important city in Italian fashion, being ranked in the top 51 fashion capitals of the world; furthermore, it is a major national economic centre, as well as a tourist and industrial hub. In 2008, the city had the 17th highest average income in Italy.

In MariaZell scheint alles in Gold zu sein. Ob die Krone im Zunftzeichen des Gasthofs "Goldene Krone", der Schlüssel im Zunftzeichen einer Schlosserei, oder der Name "Goldener Löwe" von Hotel, Konditorei und Café der Famile Pirker am Hauptplatz. Ich wurde das Gefühl nicht los, dass MariaZell eine wahre Goldgrube für geschäftstüchtige Einheimische sein muss ... 😛
In MariaZell everything seems to be in gold. Whether the crown in the guild sign of the inn "Golden Crown", the key in the guild sign of a locksmith's shop, or the name "Golden Lion" of hotel, pastry shop and café of the Pirker family on the main plaza. I could not get rid of the feeling that MariaZell must be a real goldmine for enterprising locals ... 😛
Van Eyck brothers statue in Ghent
Hubert and Jan van Eyck Brothers, Flemish illuminators and painters, founders of the school of Bruges and consequently of all the schools of painting in the North of Europe. Hubert was born at Maeseyck (i.e. Eyck on the Meuse) in the Diocese of Liège, about 1366, and his brother Jan about twenty years later, 1385. They had a sister named Margaret who won fame as a miniaturist.
A document of 1413 makes the earliest mention we have of a painting by "Master Hubert". In 1424 he was living at Ghent, and he died there on the 18th of September, 1426. We have no further definite knowledge concerning the elder of the brothers. Of the younger we know that in 1420 he presented a Madonna's head to the Guild of Antwerp, that in 1422 he decorated a paschal candle for the cathedral of Cambrai, and that in 1425 he was at The Hague in the service of Jean Sans Merci. Afterwards he went to Bruges and to Lille to the court of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, as peintre et varlet de chambre. He was already a man of some influence at court, and he travelled in the embassy charged to ask the hand of Isabella of Portugal for Philip, and it was his privilege to paint her portrait "true to life", thereby fixing Philip's choice. This journey lasted from the 18th of October, 1428, to the end of December, 1429. In 1431 he went to Hesdin to superintend, for the Duke, the work going on at the castle there: and afterwards he returned to Bruges, which he seldom left again. He married, and a child of his was baptized in 1434. In 1436 we learn once more that he received 720 livres on account of "certain secret matter", doubtless in connection with some new mission or journey. He died towards the end of June, 1441.
The most important work of the brothers Van Eyck, and the one that places their names among the great masters of painting for ever, is the famous altarpiece, "The Adoration of the Lamb", of which the central Portion is preserved in St-Bavons at Ghent, while the wings have found their way to the Museums of Berlin and of Brussels. [Note: The Ghent alterpiece, after many trials and tribulations during reformation and two world wars, is on display in the Ghent Cathedral (Saint Bavo). In 1934 the panel depicting the Just Judges was stolen and never recovered. It is now substituted with a copy.]

The TAGOL Rhythm and Hues show was last night in Lockport. Amazing experience and incredible people. All of the people in the Guild, Ed the President and Larry the owner of the Gallery are all absolutely fantastic. It was just phenomenal and I feel so fortunate to have been a part of it.
Part of the show included the introduction of kids into the program. They were mostly family members of guild members and ranged in age from 4 through 18. It was wonderful to see them at the show and to see their art framed and on the wall.
We actually bought a piece from an 11 year old girl named Julia. It was a wonderful marker and pencil drawing with a unique flat over the shoulder perspective of Charlie Brown and Snoopy sitting on the dock overlooking a lake. It was simple, elegant and beautiful. It turns out that the beautiful young girl was actually somewhat of an introvert that spends a good deal of her time alone in her room drawing. To sell her piece was a huge deal to her and she wore a smile from ear to ear. They way her dad spoke and acted provided insight into how moved they all were and how important this was for her and for them. It was an incredibly real and human and touching moment. It was a moment that you don't get many opportunities in life to be a part of something like that. It was an honor and a privilege and it was one of those moments that impacted my life. So, Julia, thank you as well for that.
Super Sunday to you my friend. Be well.
"After years of dedicated effort and countless hours in the warmth of the bread oven, the "bakers guild" is now basking in a golden age. Their culinary creations have become renowned across the region for their exquisite flavors, embodying the deep-seated love for baking that defines each baker's essence.
Every sunrise marks the beginning of the bakers' daily rituals, as they skillfully knead the dough and meticulously craft each baked delicacy to perfection. Currently, the guild stands as the most esteemed bakery in the area, with their offerings deemed essential at every town event.

Excerpt from the plaque:
Lamentation by Quinten Metsijs
In the early sixteenth century, Quentin Metsijs was widely considered Antwerp’s most prominent painter. It will come as no surprise then that the prestigious carpenter’s guild turned to him to commission a new altarpiece. Metsijs undoubtedly fulfilled the expectations of his patrons with this painting full of exquisite light and colour. But they were not the only ones to be delighted by this painting. In 1577, King Philip II of Spain and the Queen of England, Elizabeth I, declared their respective intention to acquire the painting. The guild was inclined to accept one of the proposals. Maerten de Vos, however, managed to convince the Antwerp town council to acquire the painting and keep it in Antwerp.
The composition clearly draws on Rogier van der Weyden’s Descent of the Cross.
The Arkbri River has been a major trade route through the heart of Historica since ancient times. Where the great river meets the sea, the port city of Barqa is ideally positioned to connect the inland river shipping with the sea traders, making Barqa a major hub for trade between all corners of Historica.
To ensure a safe haven for the valuable shipping, fortifications guard the harbor and over time a strong harbor citadel has been built. A lighthouse has subsequently been built on top of the fortress - guiding seafarers safely into the port with its bright whitewashed walls by day, and with its fire at night.
Built for the Guilds of Historica 10 year anniversary challenge, in the category “Old but Gold” - revisiting an older build to demonstrate the progress as a builder over the years in GoH. Here is my original lighthouse build from 2014.
This is also my first module for the Swebrick GoH maritime collab project.
The Palazzo dei Priori or comunale is one of the best examples in Italy of a public palace from the communal era (11th century). It is located in the central Piazza IV Novembre in Perugia, Umbria. It extends along Corso Vannucci up to Via Boncambi. It still houses part of the municipality, and, on the third floor, the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria. It takes its name from the Priori, the highest political authority governing the city in the medieval era.
It was built in Gothic style between 1293 and 1443, in several phases. The irregularity of the facade is explained by the long construction, due to constant additions and the incorporation of earlier buildings.
The oldest part is the one that houses the Sala dei Notari, that is, the corner part between Piazza IV Novembre and Corso Vannucci. It displays three trifora windows with a trefoil portal on the side facing the square and ten triforas and four-light windows facing the Corso.
It was the first building site, between 1293 and 1297, by the architects Jacopo di Servadio and Giovannello di Benvenuto, both from Perugia.
In the early 1300s, the entire Palazzo Capitano del Popolo, formerly the tower house of Madonna Dialdiana, was incorporated into the west side, that is, the hidden side of the palace.
The subsequent expansion was managed, between 1317 and 1326, by the architect Ambrogio Maitani from Siena who, with his brother Lorenzo, was hired to refurbish the Montepacciano aqueduct, which carried the water to the fountain in the square. During this same period, lodgings were built for the new Magistracy of Priori (founded in 1303, consisting of ten representatives of each one of the main guilds of the arts, among the 44 that existed; they held office for only two months, in which they were housed in the palace). Their living quarters consisted of the dormitories and council rooms on the first floor, the kitchen and the dining hall on the second floor and the main hall on the third. Those locations were used starting in 1325, the same period in which the Portale Maggiore was built, which became the palace's main entrance.
Between 1326 and 1331 the comune purchased from Benvenuto di Cola dei Servitori a tower house, which was connected to the palace by an overpass, above the present-day Via dei Priori. On the old tower was built a bell tower. In 1331, the ancient Priori Chapel (Cappella dei Priori) was built here, consecrated to Saint Louis of Toulouse, brother of Robert of Anjou, belonging to the House of Anjou allied with the comune; for this reason, the carved lily emblem appears on the lunette of the portal and the side of the palace, along Via dei Priori at the intersection with Via della Gabbia.
In 1335, the facade was further extended, breaking the initial symmetry with the portico and San Severo hall on the ground floor and of the other halls on the upper floors. In the expansion, the church of San Severo di Piazza, of which only one wall remains inside, was incorporated into the palace (the title of the Church of San Severo was added to the nearby church of Sant'Agata, in Via dei Priori, which still retains the dual appellation).
Between 1429 and 1443 the palace was again enlarged southward, incorporating the church of San Giovanni al foro o di piazza, now the chapel of San Giovanni, part of Collegio del Cambio, i.e., the guild of the money changers, which took over the palace from 1452. For stylistic homogeneity the Gothic style has been retained, even though it was no longer used in the 15th century.
From 1534 the palace housed the apostolic legate (an emissary of the Pope) and there were changes made to the most recent wing of the palace. The architect Galeazzo Alessi designed the internal and external arcade in the 1580s. Later the architect and sculptor Vincenzo Danti completed the work by enlarging the interior staircase.
In the following years of papal rule, the palace underwent a period of decay and was greatly altered both inside and out (the crenellation disappeared, new windows were opened and the triforas disappeared). It was restored to its old form and restored after 1860.
The facade facing the square has a fan-shaped stairway built in 1902 to replace the two-flight staircase dating from the 17th century. The original one is presumed to have been fan-shaped. The trefoil Gothic portal is flanked by two triforas, the same as the five above, which have a pinnacle on top. The two on the right were added during the subsequent extension. On the ground floor, there are three asymmetrical arches; between the first two is a pulpit used for the reading of the edicts. Two large corbels above the Gothic portal support copies of bronze statues of the griffin, symbol of the city, and the Guelph lion; the originals (now in the entrance hall of the palace) were made in 1274, probably for a vanished fountain by Arnolfo di Cambio. The chains hanging from the statue and the iron bar are those taken from the gates of Torrita di Siena by Perugian soldiers during the Battle of Torrita in 1358.
The facade toward the Corso, with a bulging progression, allows a glimpse of the various extensions that have taken place over time. The walls on the first floor are decorated, as well as the facade on the square, by triforas and two examples of quatrefoil windows, while on the upper floor are 19 triforas with a pinnacle combining the colour of the white and pink stone. The Guelph cornice and crenellations crown the end of both sides. On the ground floor, shops replace the fondachi (warehouses) and artisan workshops. To the right of the portal is still the entrance of Collegio della Mercanzia [it], occupying part of the palace from 1390, while the Collegio del Cambio took over the southern extension, where it has been since 1452.
The Portale Maggiore or Portale delle arti, the dominant element of the building, attributed to local workers, was built in 1346. Rich in sculptural decoration, it is flanked by square pillars resting on two lions, the one on the left representing magnanimity, fertility and pride, and the one on the right representing of avarice, abundance and humility. On top of the pillars are two griffins, overlooking calves, the symbol of Corporazione dei Macellai (the guild of butchers), which commissioned the work. On the framing of the portal and the archway are bas-reliefs representing scenes of city life. In the lunette are copies of the statues of saints Lawrence, Herculanus of Perugia, and Constantius of Perugia (or Saint Louis of Toulouse), patron saints of the city. The style and the size of the portal are in contrast with those of the palace; for this reason, it is thought to have been constructed for an ecclesiastical building, but was later used for Palazzo dei Priori. On the left side of the portal is a figure with a title that reads: Entra Puro, move securo ('Come thither, be safe').

It was my last sunny day in Ghent... In 15 minutes after I made shots of Saint Bavo Cathedral the sky became dark and rain began... so when I came to Graslei (the pearl of Ghent architecture) I could see it just through the frequent spurts of the rain. But it brought to the picture some extra intrigue and created mystic atmosphere in here...
The Graslei is one of the most scenic places in Ghent's old city centre. Graslei means 'street of the herbs and vegetables'. It indicates that these specific products where traded or stocked in that area...
The 'SPIJKER' is the oldest house at the Graslei. It dates from the end of the 12th, beginning of the 13th century. In this house, the wheat that ships transported via Ghent had to be stocked for two or three weeks. This was due to the fact that Gent had received the privilege to stock grain and wheat in the SPIJKER to have reserves in times of famine. The guild house of the 'FREE SAILORS'. This is perhaps the most beautiful house. The original house was built in 1355 but later rebuilt after it was sold to the guild of sailors in 1530. It boasts a beautiful late-gothic facade. The guild of sailors was one of the most powerful guilds because they had the privilege for ship transportation through the harbor of Ghent. On the left side of the Spijker stands the first 'GRAIN COUNTERS HOUSE' and next to it the 'ANGEL' with its beautiful renaissance facade. This group of houses reflects the wealth and power of the medieval guilds. Even after the decay of the Flemish trade, they were still rich enough to change their original wooden houses into splendid stone mansions...

This was built for the Guilds of Historica on Eurobricks. I continued experimenting with cross braces, and took inspiration for the tower’s gables from Brickvader.

From Orcish Marshes, through the snowy mountains of Mitgardia and deeper into darklands the orcs for help the Black Spire now traveling through Rakath Mountains, the area inhabited by mysterious creatures Worrakaths, which with its long tentacles catch and kill everything in their path. Even the bravest orcs are afraid of this terrible way.
For the Guilds of Historica Nocturnus minichallenge.
La colegiata de Santa María del Campo (A Coruña) – Spain, fue edificada en las afueras de la villa por lo que toma el nombre del Campo, sus obras se iniciaron en el siglo XII en estilo románico, realizándose sucesivas modificaciones constructivas a lo largo de la historia, esta iglesia perteneció al gremio de los marineros y comerciantes de la ciudad de La Coruña.
El edificio tiene planta basilical con tres naves y ábside en su cabecera, una portada principal en la zona oeste con un bello tímpano, y dos puertas más modestas en los laterales norte y sur.

The collegiate church of Santa María del Campo (A Coruña) – Spain, was built on the outskirts of the town, which is why it takes the name of Campo. Its works began in the 12th century in Romanesque style, with successive construction modifications being made throughout the history, this church belonged to the guild of sailors and merchants of the city of La Coruña.
The building has a basilica plan with three naves and an apse at its head, a main doorway in the west area with a beautiful tympanum, and two more modest doors on the north and south sides.
Super excited this month to announce I was awarded a bronze and a silver for these 2 images!
Now I just need to finalise my 21 images to apply for my qualification... wish me luck!

The Guild Chapel of the Holy Cross
The Guild Chapel of the Holy Cross is a chapel of 13th century origins in the Warwickshire town of Stratford upon Avon. The chapel was founded by the Guild of the Holy Cross before 1269, it passed into the control of the town corporation in 1553, when the Guild was suppressed by King Edward VI. The current nave was constructed in the late 15th century by Sir Hugh Clopton. The chapel stands on Church Street in the town, opposite the site of William Shakespearse house.
I have never liked monkey characters, but this skin/head combo changed EVERYTHING for me. What the hell. This is honestly one of my new favorite avatars... I am begging anyone who isn't a monkey fan to try this out when the Guild event opens, it's coming out in plenty of colors too! These Chop Shop eyes are also incredible and it's so exciting seeing how many unique eyes are coming to the event!

Does the color turquoise belong in the realm of Castle themed builds? Of Course it does!
This is the other moc, that along with my previous one, is based on Warhammer Concept art.
Again, I really loved the colorscheme, I think Turquoise work well and I will deffinitly use it again sometime.
This moc is also the start of a story that will be running over at the 'Guilds Of Historica' on Eurobricks.
