Cathedral of Saint Barbara-Interiors

Baroque remodeling

altarpiece

nave ceiling

chancel

patron saint of miners


a striking Baroque confessional

side chapel

medieval paintings of normal craftsmen

This is why I'm in love with this cathedral. Medieval ceiling painting....

top 10 most beautiful places of worship


the difference between the modern interpretation of cathedral and the medieval cathedral is so visible here

proper old school atmosphere in this ambulatory

I do love the ribbing





even the Art Noveau (i.e.modern) stained glass amazed a medievalist and archaeologist
