is this gothic?
it's not far from my town, on the mountains
>>51938705
Strange flags.
>>51939462
it looks like gothic/romanesque mix
or romanesque with better technology (rose windows)
I don't like this, but it's historically important for the region
Belgium manages to look nice even without any trees.
from the city where I go to uni
>>51939689
thanks
>>51939609
those are town flags i guess
The church I went to growing up is cool and about as solid gothic revival as your gonna get in the US
this is a weird one, at least for what is the standard for churches in this region
>>51939462
That's a pretty simplistic statue by Italy's standards.
>>51940005
All the pointy bits fell off in a 'NorEaster though
>>51940005
i must say, american neo-gothic is amazing
>>51940130
my region is just a (kinda poor) rural area attached to the Alps, really nothing special here
pic is the most important (historically) Church of the region, once an independent patriarchate
the baptistery in front of the entrance ruins everything imo
it was a roman basilica
>>51939951

Serbian Orthodox Church, 50 kms from my village
can't find a better pic
biggest church in Poland
Waterloo, Sierra Leone
>>51940662
yeah obviously the pic is not a synagogue, I found it on google, who named it like that must be a cùck
>>51940668
is it where there is the black Holy Virgin?
>>51940269
when american institutions decide to go gothic, they don't fuck around
>>51940662
Yellow too strong.
>>51940668
Unusual building; the classical columns on a non-classical facade.
this is actually an important sanctuary where pilgrims go, on our Alps.. you can't see the architecture but I just thought the pic was cool
The first known image of Liverpool, where Shia Labeouf currently is.
>>51940791

>dat comet star on the tower
>>51941168
christmas everyone
it does look better inside
>>51941107
Looks good, though.
I think I finished the pics, not that we don't have churches in Italy but I wanted to kep it very local
>>51941250
it's a place I'd want to visit, even if I already know it would be too crowded....
speaking of interiors
Federico Santa María Technical University, Valparaíso, Chile
Little bit art deco.
>>51941530
Moody.
norwegian church in southern Poland
Mersin University, Turkey
Nice layout.
Castle Vondern
Oberhausen
A German castle that actually looks tough.
this is pure shit
30 kms from here
we can thank the Second Vatican Council for this hybris
>>51942008
Germany has a lot of funny castles
>>51942073
same town, same shit
may God forgive them.
Middlesbrough is one of those cities you think "who allowed it to get that ugly?" We have lots in England.
>>51942172
>>51942073
Only Mormons/other wacko sects build decent religious buildings now.

This is one in my city.

what a question
nice one canadabro
>>51941784
Isn't it enough that you take out jobs? You have to take our churches too?
>>51942708
I have no idea. I think it's the spot under the tabernacle.
>>51942600
you didn't have communism there
what's your excuse....
Our only decent gothic building... Other than that, our architecture is more romanesque and barroque... as well as neo-classical
>>51942381
More Finnish churches...
>>51942916
That is awesome.
>>51942835
actually germans took this one from you
>>51942820
Thank you. It's nice, it's just a shame they have to repair it so often.
this has been my primary school
I only post the pic because it's cool that we still have the fascist slogan on the walls outside where children play
"credere obbedire combattere" = believe, obey, fight
>>51943018
at least you have money to repair them...
are there many catholics in Canada?
Zamość, renaissance town
>>51943067
>>51943110
Yes, I would say so, but I don't know for how much longer. Catholics are by far the largest religious group. Most of those being Poles or Italians, at least in my city. A lot Asians that move here are christian Filipinos. Although most people here would say that they are christian, I would say that they are bad or non-practicing Christians. With newer generations leaning to a more agnostic or atheistic outlook on religion.
>>51943189
>>51943340
I can understand, here too many youngsters are growing up atheists
the world's largest wooden church
>>51938705
Why hello there
>>51942835
We're just keeping it safely away from Varg
I think Helsinki cathedral is one of the most beautiful churches in the world.
>>51943487
t. goes to church on christmas and easter
>>51944627
Been there here's an OC
>>51944326
I fucking love wooden churches.
Some Finnish national romanticism from Tampere.

Where do you want your church senpai
what is an alternate city would you like to live in lads?
>>51945002
>>51945015
coruscant desu
I assume it's not church only so here's the highest Roman aqueduct
>>51945211
It's bigger than it seems
>>51945165
Were these just for transporting water?
the church has now been restored though
>>51945304
You could still use them to cross the river, if you look closely there are people on the first "floor", but their first goal was water transportation yes
This one is 48m tall and 275m at its longest, really impressive when you are there, + pretty lighting bonus
Gisborough Priory is a ruined Augustinian priory in Guisborough in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland and ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It was founded in 1119 as the Priory of St Mary by the Norman feudal magnate Robert de Brus, also an ancestor of the Scottish king, Robert the Bruce. It became one of the richest monastic foundations in England with grants from the crown and bequests from de Brus, other nobles and gentry and local people of more modest means. Much of the Romanesque Norman priory was destroyed in a fire in 1289. It was rebuilt in the Gothic style on a grander scale over the following century. Its remains are regarded as among the finest surviving examples of early Gothic architecture in England.[1]
>>51945459
It's a lot of effort just for water transportation.
>>51945432
Thank God.
Dunkirk town hall
>>51945647
The fire was a pretty big incident here because Porvoo Cathedral is one of the most historically important and oldest churches in Finland.
The UK has lots of these clocktowers.
They probably used to be quite nice, but they are often now surrounded by tarmac and the areas they are in don't really feel very pedestrian.
I find them quite lame.
Stick a clock on top of a clocktwoer adjoined to a building. Don't just build a clocktower for the sake of having a clocktower
>>51945851
Accidental fire?
Turner Contemporary is one of the UK’s leading art galleries. Situated on Margate seafront, on the same site where Britain's best-loved painter[3] J. M. W. Turner stayed when visiting the town, Turner Contemporary presents a rolling programme of temporary exhibitions, events and learning opportunities which make intriguing links between historic and contemporary art.
>>51944683
it would be extremely sinful
>>51946137
You're a big guy.
>>51945599
The bridge was part of an aqueduct 53km long and the geography in this place is rocky, from what I know they had to make it that tall
>>51945211
nice, I destroyed it on Age of Empires
Kamares Aqueduct, also known as the Bekir Pasha Aqueduct, is an aqueduct located in Larnaca, Cyprus. It was built in 1747. It is "most prominent" water supply ever built in Cyprus, says Tassos Mikropoulos.[1]

Very Cotswolds
only neogothic cathedral i can think of.. barely neogothic since it was built late in the 50's
the church in uppsala
Holetown Methodist Church
Barbados
>>51946744
>curtains in charge of blocking sun rays efficiently
>>51946797
Same place, other angle
Also I just googled Cotswolds it's beautiful and not that different indeed
>>51946897
What were the Victorians thinking...
Theres a similar one here
You haven't seen refined architecture until you've seen this guys
>>51946917
>>51947040
Whoops
>>51947033
Its one of the most beautiful buildings in existance to be honest, especially the inside. Its not a genuine style anyway, just like a tikka masala isnt indian.
>>51946900
An airport that isn't all steel and glass. Interesting.

I really don't like it.
It looks like it belongs in an Americn theme park.

>Lac du Mont Cenis
>italian flag
eh?
>>51947165
Staggeringly beautiful. Can't believe we didn't bomb it.
>>51947353
lel
>>51947387
The picture makes it look quite small because I took it a few floors up. Its really imposing and is beautiful in person
>>51947410
The Mont Cenis is both in France and Italy, I guess the left flag is a French one
>>51947417
reminds me a bit of >>51940668
>>51947040
nice. I hate neogothic though, it was pretty kitsch. true gothic is the most beautiful architecture ever conceived
also i lied, americans built 1 or 2 churches like this one, these may be true neogothic back from the 30's maybe
>>51947543
doesn't look as plastic as that church tho
>>51947543
True
I wonder how's the inside
CPA_Carriere_LivryGargan_01.jpg, oct. 2010
Don't know what this is....
Took some pictures of an old (for my city) church this past weekend. Enjoy.

Yet another "Devil bridge"
>>51947745
>star of David
here we go
>>51946900
i love art deco, and the symbology. at those times, the technology must have made people feel like they were gods
no buildings have that kind of inspired art
> aim for the sun
> reach it
> go beyond birds, sea and clouds, thanks to human collaboration and engineering
maybe
>>51947859
It's big to say the least
>>51947816
let me guess
the Devil helped to build it in exchange of the soul of who would have crossed the bridge first
but when he has finished people sent a dog/cat/mouse to cross it and the devil got cùcked?
The castle of San Miguel, Almuñécar
An important heritage site for Spain, if you look closely, you can still see embedded in the rock the broomsticks of the janitors who sweeped here.
>>51947859
>>51947955
"Why didn't they make a regular road ?"
There's already one and it passes right trough a city so since hundreds of trucks and cars passed there every day it was chaos
Alright maybe they could have just build a road but it's fancier that way
Cistercian monastery (Fürstenfeld Abbey), founded in 1266 by Louis II, Duke of Bavaria and closed in 1803. It was one of the favourite monasteries of the Wittelsbach family.
Not very German looking.

Not as good as previous, that dome doesn't look good on a building that high.
My fav modern building in Warsaw.
>>51947956
For once it's a little bit more complicated tho it's still 100% bullshit
It's on wiki I can translate it if you want but it'll take some lines so if you don't I'm not going to do it, too lazy
Also
>Tourists will get scammed in pic related
sometimes a pretty mediocre building can look damn fucking badass if it's put in the right environment
>>51947840
Couldn't agree more.
Church of St. Donatus, a pre-Romanesque central plan building from the 9th century.

It's actually one of the biggest churches in the world iirc. Somehow it really isn't well known at all though.
The Belgian Palace of Justice suffers the same fate for some reason, it's the biggest thing built in the 19th century and the biggest courthouse in the world, bigger than St. Paul's Cathedral.
Both buildings commissioned by glorious Leopold II
