Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

The spire of that church in Aschaffenburg is a minor gem. I think it was completed in the 15th century, but the real hit is that unusual, cloister like, arcade running around the west end of the church and the great flight of steps up to it from the little square.

The west door struck me as interesting when I saw it first [sketch below] and being sheltered under the arcade, the detail is very sharp. The interweaving plant patterns on the continuous moulding mirrors, to some extent, the plant patterns in Celtic art.

I’ll look for a photograph on the web
