Amazing Engineering
This medieval church has an amazing roof structure, amazing because it has no nails, or screws. The description was hammer beam construction. One of the largest of the type in the world. Note the iron cross bolts holding the sides in, my guess is those were a later addition to slow the spread of the walls. If it weren't for my fear of the math, I'd have made a good engineer.
Nice space?
yasss! great ceiling idea for a house.
ReplyDeleteGreat space.
DeleteTHAT is spectacular. I'd have made a great engineer, too... if it weren't for my fear of engineering.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very creative mind
DeleteWhy not being a religious man, I love the inside of a church.
ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous.
Me to.
DeleteCall me a philistine, but that ceiling just gives off an upside down boat vibe to me. Then again, I've never, ever, had any desire to be an engineer regardless of the math involved. Still, it is a nice topsy-turvy boat :)
ReplyDeleteThe same shape.
DeleteThat's a remarkable ceiling. It does make one think of a boat.
ReplyDeleteThe docent said it is original
DeleteThe stained glass looks interesting too.
ReplyDeleteI have some nice photos of the windows
DeleteI like a church like this; it feels like it could the Lord
