The Highlight of My European Tour





Sorry, it wasn't architecture...it was beer! Mmmmmm Weltenburg Dunkel.

More Weltenburg Nuggets

More Weltenburg Nuggets...of Gold this time, not turds!

This is the main altar.



There were at least two of these reliefs in the church. I loved them. My other picture did not turn out though.


A wall candle-sconce.



A very dramatically naturally-lit sculpture of St. George and the dragon. I don't care for this style, but I love this for some reason. I think the fact that I like this is part of the same aesthetic phenomenon of the general attraction of the masses to kitsch.

Finally...Regional Barvarian Gothic!

The Weltenberg Cathedral
designed in the Regional Bavarian Gothic Style!


This is special!

Warning: The clouds look like turds!

Kloster Weltenburg




Kloster Weltenburg: The Weltenburg Abbey Cathedral
You cannot tell from the outside, but this is the most interesting Baroque Church I have ever seen, and not in a good way. It's very eclectic. It has a "folksy" style/version of Baroque art inside. It's wonderfully terrible!

I hope you all are waiting with bated breath.
