Despite having my opinion towards Christendom and rather following the Nordic beliefs, I always admired the ways especially cathedrals were built in the well-known gothic style.
It's amazing what people were able to create in the Middle Ages just for God's sake and if you've ever read Ken Follett's "The Pillars of the Earth" you will know what I am talking about - this archway of Canterbury Cathedral's inner courtyard is a piece of architectural excellence in terms of a gothic building!

While I keep it the other way round with christianity and nordics:
The folks who build all that beauty rather did not do that for God‘s sake but mostly for very earthly leaders who claimed to be devout by making their tributsries build such, out of very relevant power considerations.
Either way, that left some beautiful and quite inspiring places, thanks for sharing!
