~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a medieval church (from about 1200) that was destroyed by the swedes in 1567. The hard Norwegian winters threatended to finish off the work the swedes didn't manage to do, so someone had the rather brilliant idea of protecting the remaining ruins with a hi-tec glass construction,and this is what it looks like inside. The outside can be seen elsewhere on my photostream. For more, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamar_Cathedral

I would have taken many more pictures, but there had just been a wedding so I snuck in to take some pictures, but was instantly thrown out after taking my 3 bracketed exposures. Don't know what gave me away, could it have been the red T-shirt and shorts?

Turmruine St. Georg / ruin of a steeple


Turmruine St. Georg / ruin of a steeple
Originally uploaded by bas:il

Nahe des Schlosses Blumenthal steht mitten in einem Waldstück eine Turmruine der ehemaligen St. Georgskapelle. Seit 1596 wurde dort jeden Freitag eine Messe gelesen, bevor man die Kapelle zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts abbrach. Glücklicherweise blieb der heute nahezu vergessene Turm stehen.
