I keep my beliefs open enough these days to enjoy visiting these sorts of places; gothic architecture is truly beautiful
Now that's what I'm talking about I was waiting for this & it's good you reference the difference influences of each countries style on Gothic architecture. In addition to giving the information on pre & revival movements as well. I agree with your selection for me also there's always an elegance to the buildings. It really does draw you in and you can't help yourself you want to look at every inch of the structure. I can't wait for the 2nd video. Gothic Architecture, Art Literature & Subculture it's all good to me

By the way, the Ulm Minster was built and financed by the people of Ulm. From unfree slave laborers to lower nobility

If you want to explore further, I recommend Otto v Simson, 'The Gothic Cathedral', and Jean Gimpel, 'The Cathedral Builders'
Nicholas Orme’s “The History of England’s Cathedrals is another excellent resource.
I got a very bad case of Covid and then Long Covid afterwards at the beginning of the pandemic. To pass the time and to keep my brain as active and functional as possible I began a study of Medieval cathedrals and gothic architecture. Four years later I’m still at it. I am in such awe that the architects, masons and artisans who built these glorious monuments to God without the scientific, technological and mathematical knowledge that is considered absolutely indispensable by architects of today! And, unlike many more modern buildings
these ancient buildings continue to stand and be used after several centuries!
Awesome Video!
What I absolutely love are buildings that are Gothic Style Mixed with Renaissance or Baroque Elements. No matter if they were built at the beginning of the Renaissance, have a long building History that gives it multiple phases, or were built during Historism with mixed Style in mind.
Only truly genius architects can make Styles so different look harmonic!
Very well said! I didn't think too much of how beautiful they blend different styles together until just recently.
