Strasbourg Cathedral, the pinnacle of Gothic architecture. Until the 19th century, the highest place of worship in the world. Its impressive facade has never been surpassed. The names of its builders fall into oblivion. Later generations lose the sense of this beauty. Babaric, the people of the Renaissance called the Gothic. This changed in 1770, when the cathedral attracted the attention of a young man, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who came to study in Strasbourg and was fascinated by this church. He rediscovers the beauty of Gothic cathedrals and their builders. Goethe is driven by the question of who designed this masterpiece of architecture. The answer he believes to find apparently in a backyard, here he comes across a tombstone with a name and a job title , Erwin Baumeister . The Strasbourg Cathedral, the building of a single man? Erwin von Steinbach was highly stylized by Gothe as the ingenious master builder of the Strasbourg Cathedral. "What do you need a monument, you have erected here the magnificent and the ants that grab it your name nothing cares, you have the same fate as the master builder who towered mountains up to the clouds" Thus Gothe created the myth Erwin. #cathedralgram #ig_ometry #takemetochurch_ig #be_one_architecture #tv_pointofview #artemondo_ #hotshotz_architecture #loves_united_architecture #architecturelovers #creative_architecture #gotic #livelovearchitecture #tv_pointofview #strasgram #excellent_structure #world_archigraphy #luxury_allworld #architectureanddesign #archi_focus_on #infinity_churches #ig_great_pics #vivoartworld #architecture_hunter #structure_bestshots #gotic_architecture #structure_greatshots #timeless_unlimited #total_monuments #total_art_gallery #churchmypassion #guest_churches

Monasterio de San Jerónimo (Granada)🇪🇸 The Monasterio de San Jerónimo was founded in 1492 by the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, who had just completed the Reconquista of Spain. Granada, the last Muslim kingdom on the Iberian Peninsula, had fallen to Christian rule, and the Catholic Monarchs sought to establish religious institutions that symbolized the triumph of Christianity. ⚔️✝️ The Monasterio de San Jerónimo stands out for its distinctive combination of Spanish Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles. The design of the monastery was a collaborative effort, with several architects contributing to its construction over the centuries. The overall plan features a cloister, a church, and a series of chapels and rooms dedicated to the monks' daily activities. 🏛⛪️ The Monasterio de San Jerónimo de Granada holds significant historical importance not only for its architectural grandeur but also for its association with some key figures in Spanish history, including the Gran Capitán, Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba. Known as one of Spain’s most revered military leaders, the Gran Capitán played a critical role in both the Reconquista and the early phases of the Spanish Empire. His connection to the monastery is marked by his burial in the church of San Jerónimo, which further adds to the monastery’s prestige.🤺🤴🏼👑 #culturalheritage #worldheritage #abbey #artandhistory #architecturelovers #spain #granada

The New Palace: A masterpiece of baroque ambitions 🐚🪞📖 Anyone standing in front of the New Palace immerses himself in the world of Frederick the Great: a building that was created not only as a residence, but as a monumental symbol of Prussian power and cultural achievements. 🏛️✨ The architects Carl von Gontard and Georg Christian Unger realised the king’s vision with a perfection that is unparallelled. The result: a masterpiece of baroque architecture, which with its imposing facade, detailed sculptures and artistic ornaments has not only shaped the era, but also the posterity. 🧱 Inside, all the splendour of this building unfolds: the shimmering grotto room, with its unique shell ornaments, the artistic play of light and mirrors in the stately rooms, the impressive library, which emphasises the importance of knowledge and culture, and the radiant marble hall, which was once the scene of royal festivals and diplomatic encounters. Each of these rooms tells a story of artistic mastery and tireless craftsmanship. 📚🎭💎 The added value of the New Palace? The New Palace is more than just an architectural masterpiece – it is a testament to the time. It shows how art and crafts survive time and shape us as a society. As part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stands for cultural wealth, the power of vision and the importance of preserving our history.

The Würzburg Residence – A World Heritage Masterpiece ❤️✨ The Würzburg Residence is not only an architectural marvel, but a symbol of cultural exchange, artistic excellence and historical responsibility. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the most important examples of Baroque architecture in Europe. The Residence was created by the visionary direction of Balthasar Neumann, whose innovative architectural concepts still set standards today. Its splendour is complemented by the incomparable frescos by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, which are among the greatest masterpieces of European painting, and the filigree stucco works by Antonio Bossi, which make any room a work of art. 🏛️✨ But the Würzburg Residence is not only a symbol of past glory, but also an example of international commitment and responsibility. After the heavy destruction of World War II, it was the use of John Davis Skilton and the Monuments Men that saved this priceless treasury from final decay. 🙌 Why is the Residence so important? 1. Art and science combine: The Residence is a place where art, architecture and crafts fuse at the highest level. It inspires researchers, restorers and artists alike. 2. A cultural and economic engine: Thousands of visitors from all over the world experience the magic of this place every year. Their preservation not only promotes cultural awareness, but also strengthens the regional economy and identity. 3. A reminder of responsibility: The rescue of the residence by Skilton and the Monuments Men shows how important it is to not only preserve historical treasures, but also to consider them as a reminder and inspiration for future generations. 4. A living heritage: Restorations and scientific studies ensure that the residence remains a living monument that tells its history and inspires new stories. #würzburg #unesco #arthistory
