It's actually blue. This was a PP choice to keep it natural looking, as I took it in the evening.

This thread was hidden quite a way away in the Themes topic, but, digging through my archive i found another accidental pano from Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. It could also have gone in the windows theme.

Great that you found it Hans - I wanted to post this one but then it slipped my mind. It might also fit in nicely in Akira's "rubber neck" topic :)
A medeval church in Kalundborg, Denmark, with five towers - which I understand is somewhat unique in the world - representing the imagination of "The heavenly Jerusalem as a fortified city with 5 towers" - (assumed to be) started by Esben Snare around 1170 and finished by his daughter in 1220.
Great images in this interesting thread!

I have an impression that the Nordic churches are quite unique in their designs. Thank you for sharing!

Great lines, Lars. A very old church then? It looks a bit modern, from this POV.

Thanks Akira and John,
I've looked up some extra info - this church is unique even in nothern europe with Tournai cathedral in Belgium having similarities.
The roofs burned in 1314 and the original roof/tower top constructions are unknown. The mid tower crashed in 1827 apparently due to excavations inside the church - after/during 45 years it was rebuild and restorations was apparantly also done. Apart from that I havent found anything indicating the current architecture should be of more modern origin than around 1220/1230 - additional buildings like chapel, rectory dating 1400/1500.
I've attached different views.
-
Thanks for the extra images, Lars. Yes this looks more medieval ;) More like a castle. Unique church.
-
Lars, thank you for the extra research and the images. The entire church including the brick fence looks majestic.

Thanks Luc and guys!
I have to say I was happy with the way they had arranged the lights there! Ravenna has many other significant sights as well, certainly worth a visit if you're ever nearby.

Great shots Luc.
Thanks Fons.

St. John's Episcopal Church (completed 1904), Ketchikan Alaska/USA. Ketchikan has a reputation of having even more rain than Seattle. When my wife and I were there we enjoyed glorious sunny weather as this image shows.

Quite an elaborately decorated church!
Took a while to build: started 1107, finished 1491...
The outside is also beautiful. There's a 112.5 m high belltower, with a beautiful clock with zodiac signs. For those liking classical music, it's also the hometown of Stradivarius and Guarneri del Gesù, very famous violin makers.
An unusual perspective of one of the lions guarding the main entrance.
Ciao from Massimo

Bologna, St.Francis Basilica at sunset
The front appears massive, but you can see the sky through the rosettes. Actual basilica is leaner...

San Zaccaria, Venice
Today is the 1600th birthday of the city of Venezia (conventionally inaugurated on 25 March 421).
Venice has 120+ churches, and I have several thousand photos of most of them, so here's one, not very far (200 meters) from Basilica di San Marco.
It's a 4-pic horizontal pano, with camera in portrait mode.

Dom, Trier, Germany

1992 church architecture.
Added a few - closer from the outside in dull light. Closed so no shot for the organ thread this time.
-
Remarkable, Lars. That looks like a barn.
-
Thanks, John - very minimalistic and I was also surprised to learn it's a church. I'll see if I someday can get some shots from the front and inside - there must be an organ inside somewhere :)

Munich, St. Lukas Church (near the Isar river), as given as protestant church, build in the beginning of 1900. The inner hall. Arranged with the d850+pc19. Complete image build out of 4 shots, while doing the objektive shifting from the left to the right side, camera set up on a tripod, horizontal setup (The camera was on the trip, not the lens). It was meant ot do some test. bye bye. richard

Two small churches with a history. Højerup old church (from around 1250) and Højerup new church (from 1913) - the latter was built about 150 meters longer in-land to replace the old church. The churches are close to Stevns Klint (a chalk cliff) and the old church have not been used since 1910 due to erosion and is now located at the edge of the cliff - in 1928 the church lost the choir when part of the cliff collapsed and ended 30 meters below along with the alter, gravestones, coffins and bones :o The erosion had started taking parts of the church yard in the 1600s.
Stevns chalk cliff is UNESCO world heritage - Wiki quote: "it is of geological importance as one of the best exposed Cretaceous-Tertiary boundaries in the world.".
1, 2 and 3: old church, church wall towards the sea and part of the cliff.
4 and 5: new church and a memorial stone for the Halifax II DT620 airmen crew that was shot down in March 1943 about 1000 meters away over the Baltic Sea.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to walk down to sea level and get a better view and images of the cliff and church.

Lars - thanks for these images and stories behind them. The last image tells a story of its own. Squadron 138.

Many thanks Hugh - glad you liked the stories. The church images themselves are rather average and it's their story that was the main reason I posted them.
The last one however does tell a story of its own as you say, and I like that the memorial stone has been placed where many people visit, but also because Højerup (and Stevns in general) has a separate military history.

These were all found in Ludlow Church (Shropshire, UK)
The decorated parts in #2 & 3 swing down to form the seat of these choristers' cubicles.
