GREATEST CASTLES OF EUROPE | Top 10 Castles Ever Built
That's me, for sure!!
bro your video 💩😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤🙏
Like For Trakai Island castle. I live 20 km from Trakai.
Most of them can be called "medieval" only in the sense of inspiration, as the architects tried to mimic the "medieval style" as they imagined it.
This is the worst list I've ever seen! If anything you must have Cologne, Milan, Lincoln!!! And no Wells, Chartres? This list is a joke and the person who made it probably just picked some ones he/she thought looked big. Seriously, no Milan, or Cologne when you are talking about the best?! Must be one of those channels that does this to rile people up. No wonder you only have 644 subscribers, you don't know what the hell you are talking about!
The Spanish kicked out the invaders. When will the Eastern Orthodox Christians kick the invading Turks out of their lands?
Mozart married Beethoven?
10 more: Duomo di Milano - Milan, Kölner Dom - Cologne Notre-Dame de Reims - Reims Nevsky Cathedral - Sofia Cathedral Of St. Andrew - Amalfi Notre-Dame de Strasbourg - Strasbourg Santa Maria Assunta - Siena Santa Maria Maior de Lisboa - Lisbon St. Stephen’s Cathedral - Vienna Cathedral of St. Domnius - Split
10 more: St. Paul’s Cathedral - London Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity - Ely Notre-Dame d’Amiens - Amiens Cathédrale Notre-Dame des Doms - Avignon Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal - Antwerp Salzburger Dom - Salzburg Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica de la Encarnación - Malaga Tsminda Sameba - Tbilisi Santa Iglesia Basílica Catedral Metropolitana de Santa María - Burgos Basilica Cattedrale Metropolitana Primaziale della Santa Vergine Maria Assunta - Palermo
St Anthony’s Padua, and Lyon’s Notre Dame deserve to be on this list
That Church in St Petersburg is Eastern Orthodox and is not a Gothic Cathedral!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🎉 Nice video. I hope in the future, my Small Travel Channel can grow yours. Maby you have some tips? 😢
10:59 also includes Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerydrobyllllantysiliogogoch
👋🏼 Small struggling Travel Channel here. I love your content, thanks for this great video! You inspire me to keep grinding my channel, maby one day I’ll grow as big as you 🥲
As an architectural historian I rate Canterbury (particularly the interior) as not only the finest Gothic Cathedral in the world but also one of the finest buildings in the World of any age.
I think Lincoln Cathedral is by far and away the most impressive cathedral (and in my opinion building) in the world. I think Ruskin once said that it is worth any 2 other cathedrals in the isles. There is no beating Lincoln's west front, charm, history and character.
The guy that did this was drunk.
Beethoven was never married.
Where are in this list, the cathedrals of Burgos, León and Basílicas of Sagrada Familia and Zaragoza in Spain?
Sagrada Familia really is what should top the list👍
How tf is Lincoln not on here…
I think some Holy Roman Emperor Emperors might be buried there, as opposed to “Roman” emperors.
Seville's cathedral can't be considered a reverse Hagia sophia because Hagia Sophia was built by Christians and converted into mosque, but Seville cathedral was'nt build by muslims and converted into church. Seville's cathedral was built by christians.
The Cordoba Cathedral is the reverse Hagia Sophia. It's basically the same structure as the Moorish mosque, but with Christian redecorations.
But the changes in Hagia Sophia was just the adition of the towers. The main building remain intact. In Cordova mosque they literaly build a church into the mosque
@@edgarmaestre6622 Same structure as the mosque, mostly.
An important thing to note: the spire of the central steeple has collapsed during a storm. That is the reason why they are flat and capped off with lead pannels

No Malbork castle? It's the biggest in Europe built entirely of brick!
Malbork is the 3rd castle in the video
No Wawel castle? 🤔
what a terrible thumbnail
Donde. ?Esta la Sagrada Familia? , en España
the sagrada familia is, in fact, not a cathedral. It is a minor basilica.
Sevilla is the better
Any top ten list hoping we like stained glass and flying buttresses that omits Chartres is not serious.
in my other video ;)
i would agree - Chartres est magnifique
Chartes est sans conteste la plus belle !
Chartres
How does one differentiate between French Gothic and English Gothic?
I think French typically is a bit more dramatic (higher ceilings, thinner walls, etc)
Probably the most recognisable style of english gothic architecture is the perpendicular style. It known for its fan vaults and very low pointed arches. It emphesises the vertical line waay more than other forks of gothic architecture as far as my observations go. The towers are usually very boxy unlike the tiered towers on, say st Vitus cathedral or the steeples of Notre Dame de Paris. other characteristic features are 1. tall towers sitting right atop the crossing (which has presented the maintainers with huge challenges. Many even collapsed. 2. quite short clerestory windows consistently throught the style periods unlike french gothic (including Czech, German gothic as they are all technically french) which tried maximising the clerestory at the cost of not having a proper triforium. 3. double transept. There is no non english cathedral with more than one transept as far as I rember 4. plain flying butresses when compared to their french counterparts. 5. and probably the most prominent: the french gothic style, especially styles like Flamboyant gothic are conciderably more ornate. in that time period the builders were trying to find every way of maximising detail and contrast. Free tracery layered over blind tracery is a supreme example of that. Another thing already meantioned by Obsidian History is the grandeur. Gothic cathedrals were not only beacons of religeous significance, but also a tokens of power and supremacy. It was a sort of an unofficial war. Eccept its warriors were armed with chiesels and hammers. French gothic tried achieving the tallest choir possible. whilst the lincoln cathedral vault height is "only" 24 metres, the tallest gothic choir is 48 metres, and yes, it is holding up by hopes and prayers (and a lot of steel added as a precaution). Hope this helps
@@MichalTměj : Wow! Thank you very much. Now that you’ve explained it I can definitely see the differences.
The key differences between French and English Gothic cathedrals are 1) French cathedral naves are generally taller 2) English cathedrals make up for it by being long! England has several of the longest gothic cathedrals in the world, Winchester being the longest. 3) A particular feature of English Gothic is the tall central tower covering the full width of the main aisle of the nave., open to the interior which fills the nave/transept crossing with light. Central towers of similar design are very rare in France. 4) French Gothic generally have taller, thinner west fronts. 5) English Cathedral generally have a more defined "cross" layout, with larger, more defined transepts.
Why are you showing images of Belvedere Palace in Vienna when talking about Schönbrunn?
That thumbnail is ridiculous, a Bishop or the Pope would be the least shocked to see a beautiful cathedral.
That's true
It's Notre DAHM

Hardly gonna speak frog if I’m not a f frog, is Notre dam 👍
Whoever puts Sagrada on that list is total mess of trash..it's total rubbish. This clown needs to get his brain and eyes checked and committed
Dammed you people calling Sophia byzantine. Sthup. It's Roman not fake name byz. Enough
This was an excellent collection of important or historic or beautiful or all three sites in the UK. Well done ! 👍👍🌟🌟🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧

And last?

Some good choices for the top castles there. I've visited 5 of them myself. One correction, though: Conwy castle is *not* concentric. I think it's actually the only one of Edward I's "ring of iron" castles around Wales that wasn't concentric, because the terrain didn't really allow for an outer curtain wall.
Fair!
I love you palace my faborit❤🇹🇱
Beautiful homes bug architecture and Lands Spanish culture
Petersburg???
I'm sorry, but the largest palace is the Louvre in Paris. It was the royal palace for centuries and with its huge 350.000 square meters it's the largest of all. It houses one of the most visited museum today, and has an estimated value that cross 340 bilion of euros (the largest art gallery in the world and for the building itself)
It's super impressive but just for categorization purposes I'd call it more of a museum than a Royal Palace
@@ObsidianHistory but it was a Royal Palace and alongside Versailles and Fontainebleau, it was the official residence of the french kings when they abandoned the Chambord Castle. As a art student, I was surprised discovering that the Louvre was even bigger and connected to a frontal building, called Tuileries Palace, adorned in grand splendor and magnificent artcraft decoration, but it burned completely to the ground and thus the two wings of the Louvre where never be reconnected again in the last century
Versailles set the standard for ultra palaces oft copied but never surpassed.
THE SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS???
yup, the range in america is named after the one in spain
Stopped watching when Beethoven's marriage was mentioned; he never married
Kings Chapel, Cambridge (biggest fan vaulted ceiling) and St.George Chapel, Windsor. Church on island on Seine. I can't remember its name.
