"This tower is the only remnant of a church, the original Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie, owing its name and function to the foundation of a chapel in the 12th century. The main body of the church disappeared towards the end of the 18th century."

This #sculpture by local artist Hubertus von der Goltz between the #towers of the Nauener Tor ("Nauen Gate") in #Potsdam is terrifying unsuspecting visitors until 2026.

Castle of the Teutonic Order, Malbork, Poland
The best guarded part of the Malbork stronghold was the High Castle. Surrounded by two lines of walls and a moat, it was connected to the Middle Castle by a drawbridge. The High Castle was closed during the day. It was home to about 50 Teutonic brothers. The castle’s central point was a courtyard surrounded by cloisters with a well in the middle. The ground floor of the castle contained a kitchen, utility rooms and a cell for the most important prisoners. The first floor housed the monks’ rooms, the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the chapter house and the treasury. The convent chamber was located even higher. Grain supplies were hidden in the attics, which were supposed to last two years of a potential siege. A 66-meter watchtower, which was also the church’s bell tower, towered over everything.

![This image depicts a historical view of the iconic Saint Basil's Cathedral, or Vasilyevsky Cathedral, located in Moscow. The photograph captures several characteristic elements of Russian architecture and is rendered with colorization techniques that add to its vintage appeal.
In this print from around 1890-1906 by Loener & Co., a company known for their production of photographic images on paper using the photochrom technique, we see a series of onion-shaped domes painted in shades of green and gold. The central tower with golden domes stands prominently against an overcast sky.
The surrounding buildings include various structures such as churches or monasteries adorned with similar architectural details: arched windows, brick facades, and cross-topped spires. In the foreground is a cobblestone street leading to what appears to be Red Square, flanked by large cannons on display. These cannons are likely historical artifacts representing Russia's military heritage.
A few figures can be seen in the distance walking along the pathway or standing near one of the buildings, providing scale and indicating that this image was taken during a time when such public spaces were accessible for civilians to visit and appreciate.
Overall, the photo offers insight into Moscow’s cultural landscape at an earlier period, showcasing religious architecture with its distinctive onion-shaped domes as well as elements representative of Ru [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/113/951/925/144/719/211/original/bd7fd6f9bc4b1021.jpeg "This image depicts a historical view of the iconic Saint Basil's Cathedral, or Vasilyevsky Cathedral, located in Moscow.
