Rest in pepperoni.
A Dolmen ( not sure if correct name ) turned into a chapel.
The Dolmen is from 3000 BC and the chapel was built in the 17th century
I like this sort of continuity between Christianity and the pagan worshiping of certain rocks, springs and trees, very nice
Largest church in Malta. it is dedicated to Christ the King.
The oldest church surviving in my city, dedicated to Virgin Mary. Built around 450-470 AD. en.wikipedia.org
Church in my village built sometime in the 1700s I believe
this is a big greek orthodox church in sydney's western suburbs. it runs a grammar school nearby and everything. it looks like this on the outside, but on the inside it's traditional in a way a simple anglican like me can't help but be condescendingly awed by.
it's cute the way it looks like a spaceship.
Completely agree, looks amazingly comfy desu.
Skara cathedral
Oldest cathedral in Sweden
Built in 1221
What about the big one in Barcelona? I forgot what it's called
That one isn't even finished yet
Yes it is the big famous one
la sagrada familia
Ah yes that's the one I meant
La Sagrada Familia,its still in constriction since 1882
This is the English Church (Church of St. Andrew) in Gothenburg
Can one of you Brits confirm that this actually looks like a British church?
God I wish that was me
This is my town's Orthodox church. Construction began in 1990 and the inside was painted in 2005. It's neither old nor relevant but I think it looks pretty nice.
Yes it does
Completed in 1891, San Sebastian Church is noted for its architectural features. An example of the revival of Gothic architecture in the Philippines, it is the only all-steel church in the Philippines. It was designated as a National Historical Landmark in 1973 and as a National Cultural Treasure in 2011.
Built in 14 Century. Now used as cementary. Strange when you consider the people that built that church where only 700 years removed from their pagan past. Almost as long as the foundation of the church is from now.
Fuck off mustard
this one was built at the end of the 10th century, or in the beginning of the 11th century, making it Hungary's oldest surviving church, and one of the first Christian places of worship built during a time when most of the population still praised Tengri
Russian orthodox church built by a Ukrainian business man
Churches are non european.
It's allowed to have churches there?
That's my local church. Due to a bunch of events, it was never totally finished.
colonial era church, established by Franciscan monks in the 17th century
poor but functional
this is like 108 years old
it's so cool though
the altar was carved in baroque style. the gold is just painting i think
post-war era church, 1880s
our war was between 1865-1870, mind it
then for the OTHER war in 1932-1935, it was one of many buildings accomodated to work as a war hospital, due to being near to the river port
that crappy looking building in the back was built in the 1980s
altar was also wood painted with golden paint, but far older, 16th century style. dunno if it's original or a reconstruction
>105 years old
>Shrine to the beheading of John The Baptist
even our churches are about beheadings
basilica of st. jean le baptiste, one of the few buildings that didnt burn down during my city's unnecessary amount of fires
oh also constructed in 1855
the two towers tend to bend outward from the building so we have to use wires and shit to keep them from falling off the building
lol this gothic style church was built in the 1920s. modernism was overrated for the architect, i guess
did the late ottoman empire allow religious communities to have as much agency over their own governing as the early ottomemes?
the altar is crappier and was half-assed in the 40s, finished only in the 90s
here is the anglican cathedral of st john, built shortly after the basilica
it didnt survive the fires as well, and the roof entirely burnt down during the great fire
In our schoolbooks the Ottomemes are portrayed as power hungry drunkards who wanted to control every aspect of Arabic life and banned Arabic from being spoken etc. but it's all propaganda to justify us betraying them and siding with the brits. I really have no idea how good or bad the ottomemes were and would like to be steered towards some literature that is unbiased.
All I know is that all of our churches in Jordan were under the patronage of Archbishop (not sure of the title) of Jerusalem and that Jerusalem was under Ottoman rule for the longest time so they must have had some influence.
this is the megachurch ayyyyyy
the largest religious building in Paraguay
built with the ""effort"" and money of people that donate their cash to tele-evangelists (and probably there's drug money laundering underneath)
Looks like a parking complex.

can't find pic of what i want to show, there's a mennonite church build in post-modernist way with bricks, it's called "La Roca" and it really looks like a rock or cliff
i can only find pics of the interior
No where in the world is it banned to build a church (except Saudi Arabia, and maybe North Korea too, not sure). Pic related is the ruins of the oldest church in our country.
this is one of the few orthodox churches in Paraguay. it's in the south
Christ the dubiously authentic
One of the largest wooden buildings in Sweden. The Kiruna church is located 67° north, above the Arctic circle in Swedish Lapland.
It was built in 1912, with design from both new gothic and traditional Sami tents.
and this is my last bump
this one is one of the biggest and most important catholic churches for my country. it hosts a Holy Virgin that performed miracles locally (as in, "totally not a ripoff of the Lujan or Lourdes" Holy Maries). pope Francis I says he owes a lot to the Caacupe Virgin, and he knew her thanks to the paraguayan immigrants living in the slum he was assigned to as priest
*tips fedora*
crappy altar if you ask my opinion senpai
or maybe i'm just biased towards baroque style
the church was started to be built in the 1940s
This one looks interesting. Here's another church from Malta.
At one point, this had the third largest unsupported dome in the world
Inspired by the Pantheon
Recently given the title of a minor basilica
During WWII, a German bomb pierced the dome during a mass but failed to explode.
Post a church from muttland.
This one is cool.
This catholic church which was rebuilt in 1881. The original one was wooden. Today it's an organ hall.
Being a protestant country means we have no good churches. All of them are either literal shacks or giant ugly stadiums built by televangelists.
Doesn't New York have a cathedral or something or is my mind playing tricks on me?
Sucks.
>means we have no good churches
well sorry to say but someone had to say to you:
being an unitedstatian poster means you have no good knowledge of your own country
Boston church
Florida church
...hey i like it
Colorado church
Looks like a gaming console.
Christbox 360.
>Christbox 360
here's something more trad, but i'm digging the use of sandstone in its construction
>literal shacks
>implying that's a bad thing
Jesus tells us not to worry about material things, for it is in Heaven that we will live forever. Displays of wealth and grandeur are sinful.
so yeah, at least google your shit before posting something dumb and harvest all those (You)s
Sandstone is based. Makes it look Mediterranean
Local Anglican church. Built in 1783 by Loyalists who fled the American revolution the inscription on the bell reads: "In memoriam the Loyalists, faithful alike to God and the King."
That's really good for an American church
Interior
Kölner Dom
built 1100~ since the relique inside of it brought in too many pilgrims they needed something bigger.
the relique was bones of they holy 3 kings.
neat
stop....
There are lots of good cathedrals in America and Mormon temples are nice too
yeah you dislike modernism but it aint' so bad
here's a church built in my country in the 1970s
You have really funny churches.
there's no brazilians in this thread, should i post the Brasilia cathedral for them?
Yes please.
here's the interior first. you getting an idea what kind of modernist crazy shit is on the outside?
nonetheless i like it because it really transmit the idea of a tepe, a native house for everyone to be the same in one tribe
outside, front
the 4 statues are part of it since they represent the four evangelists
shit screams "COMMIE AS F" but it was built during the right-wing dictatorship lol. bold huh
That interior is interesting. Outside looks like a tent and those statues are really ugly.
Here's a modern ugly church from Malta. We forgot how to build and thank God we don't build churches anymore.
lol what? that's the church or just the facade? where's the rest of the building?
i thought it was an overlook lol
I don't know if you can call it a church. In fact on it it says "Ċentru Kristu Rxoxt" which means "Resurrection of Jesus Centre". It is labelled as the parish Church of Pembroke so I don't know.
The interior is actually decent, in my opinion. Ignore the bell.
One of the oldest stave churches in Norway. Built ~1140 AD. Built around the time when christianity first came to Norway. According to legend, at this time there were two trolls living on both sides of the fjord where this church is located that both built their own churches. The troll on the opposite side was envious of how nice this church was and so threw a boulder to smash it. He missed, so the other troll got angry, threw a boulder back and smashed the church. Apparently both stones can still be found standing as ''bauta''-stones (elongated stones, usually with writing or imagery, stood upright in the ground)
i see
yeah next time don't let young architects do your churches
this is my childhood's church on this built-from-scratch suburbs of Ayolas
Thankfully we don't need any more churches, and given the shit we build nowadays, that's a blessing. Here's my town's parish church. It was finished building in 1658.
digging it
baroque is always nice to the eyes though medieval style like are great too
I agree.
The Laurenskerk in Rotterdam, construction completed in 1525.
One of the few buildings to survive the pig G*rman bombing of the center of Rotterdam.
After the bombing. A few holes but still standing.
lichfield cathedral, Church of Virgin Mary and St CHAD, the only medieval English cathedral with three spires
fucking hell that looks so good
neat
tell me something:
how many of the Resistance were hiding on that church and the gerries were too naive and respectful to not obliterate it?
>Predeal
doxxing in progress
Aachener Dom built in 795 and finished in 803 on order of Emperor Karl the Great, he is buried in this Cathedral along with his reliquies. Till 1531 all Holy Roman Emperors were crowned here.
always wondered why our stave churches have those dragon heads and an exterior that looks like scales
