Crown Court Church of Scotland

Covent Garden, GB

The Church of Scotland has been active in London since the time of James VI, King of Scots, who became King James I of England in 1603.

This site became known as Scotland Yard and subsequently housed the original offices of the Metropolitan Police. The current building dates from 1909, but Crown Court Church has been on this site since 1719.

Cund Fortified Church

Cund Fortified Church

Cund, RO

On the western side of the 15th century hall church a bell tower was erected in 1804. The pilasters of the tower show late Baroque features. From the original fortification wall almost nothing survived to this day, but the fence surrounding the yard of the church marks the initial perimeter. The chancel still preserves its original late Gothic ribbed vault, while the paneled ceiling of the hall was replaced early 20th century by a flat plastered ceiling. The most valuable piece of the interior furniture is the pre-reformation winged altar depicting the Passion of Christ. Today this altar is displayed in Sighişoara inside the Hill Church. In the chancel one can admire the late Gothic pews from 1532.

Cunerakerk

Rhenen, NL

The Cunerakerk in its current form was built in the 15th century, around 1450. It was actually a thorough renovation of the building that was already there. That church was called Saint Peter. It was probably a stone cruciform basilica. The oldest parts of the church are the choir and the sacristy, which were probably started at the end of the 14th century. The choir has a sober late Gothic style, made of brick. The same style can also be found in the transept, of which the east facade of the southern transept seems to be the most original.
