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 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.
