St Bartholomew's Church

Staré Město, Czech Republic

The original Church of Saint Bartholomew was built in 1295 and destroyed during the Hussite Wars. The today's Church of Saint Bartholomew was built together with a monastery in 1507–1514. It was used as a burial place of the Pernštejn family. In the interior there is a valuable main altar with the painting 'The Passion of St. Bartholomew' from 1692 by Michael Willmann and a painting decoration by Mikoláš Aleš.

Beautiful stained glass windows with a decorated ceiling just above the entrance to the Church and a rich altar. Nicely located church.

The parish church of St. Bartholomew in Pardubice belongs to one of the landmarks of the city and its historical core. The church is an original Gothic building and, according to documented records, it is mentioned here from the second half of the 13th century. It was also slightly modified structurally in several centuries due to capacity reasons. I didn't get inside because it opens, for example, for regular religious services and other important events in the city itself. For myself, I can only admire his beauty from the outside again ♥️??.

Sigmaringen Castle

Sigmaringen Castle was first mentioned in the year 1077 in the chronicles of Petershausen monastery. The oldest parts of the castle are concealed beneath the alterations made during the 17th and the 19th centuries. The secret of the earliest settlement built on this defendable rock will never be fully revealed: large-scale excavation work would be necessary, which the extensive land development renders impossible. Judging from the many Roman remains unearthed in the area around Sigmaringen, the 12th century keep known as the 'Roman Tower' could be traced back to a Roman predecessor.

The castle remains that have been preserved (gate, great hall and keep) date back to the Staufer period around 1200. The castle remains were integrated into subsequent buildings. The foundations of the castle buildings are to a large extent identical to the surrounding castle wall.

These remains give us a good idea of how the castle might have looked during the 12th century.
