Kaunein kirkko missä oppaanakin ollut ja valokuvannut. Tumma ja runsaasti valaisevat ikkunat, kauniiden yksityiskohtien täydentävää uusgoottilaista tyyliä. Kynttelikkökin erottuu edukseen ympäristön ollessa muutakin kuin lakanan valkoista. Piha alue ja taide teokset tontilla korostaa rakennuksen asemaa keskipisteenä ja ylistää ulkonäköään. Tutustumisen arvoinen, et pety

Kirkontorni on minusta Kotkan kaupungin keskustan maamerkki, jonka avulla on helppo suunnistaa kompaktin kokoisessa keskustassa. Mielestäni erittäin kaunis kirkko. Valitettavasti en ole vielä päässyt vierailemaan sisätiloissa, mutta ehkä seuraavalla kerralla... Kotkassa on paljon ihania puistoja ja kun menet siihen yhteen tiettyyn puistoon jonka nimi saattaa olla Palotorninmäki tms, jossa on siis se ilmatorjuntatykki. On aika huikea näky kun katsot tietystä perspektiivistä siten, että kirkontorni näkyy kukkulan yläpuolelta, ja tykki sojottaa sitä kohden tai sen vieressä, ja jos taivas on vielä auringonlaskun punainen, on se näky on vaan huikea, tosi dramaattinen ⛪

Bamberg Historic City Centre

Bamberg is located in Upper Franconia on the river Regnitz close to its confluence with the river Main. Its historic city center is a listed UNESCO world heritage site.

Bamberg is a good example of a central European town with a basically early medieval plan and many surviving ecclesiastical and secular buildings of the medieval period. When Henry II, Duke of Bavaria, became King of Germany in 1007 he made Bamberg the seat of a bishopric, intended to become a 'second Rome'. Of particular interest is the way in which the present town illustrates the link between agriculture (market gardens and vineyards) and the urban distribution centre.

From the 10th century onwards, Bamberg became an important link with the Slav peoples, especially those of Poland and Pomerania. During its period of greatest prosperity, from the 12th century onwards, the architecture of this town strongly influenced northern Germany and Hungary. In the late 18th century Bamberg was the centre of the Enlightenment in southern Germany, with eminent philosophers and writers such as Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and E.T.A. Hoffmann living there.

Bamberg extends over seven hills, each crowned by a beautiful church. This has led to Bamberg being called the 'Franconian Rome'.
