The Theatine Church at Odeonsplatz, Munich

It’s the Theatinerkirche at Odeonsplatz in Munich, Germany. I thought for a while it’s a theater basing from its name. Yeah, what do I know about the German language, anyway. It’s a Catholic church, a baroque-style architecture that was inspired by the Roman Catholic Church. Looking at the picture, I couldn’t tell it’s a church maybe because of the absence of a cross, or there’s probably one but just couldn’t see it. The color is relentlessly attractive apart from its captivating structure.

I also learned that the place is called the Odeonsplatz in central Munich. I would love to visit the place again as it came out while I searched for the name of that building that there are a lot of remarkable architectures in the city.

The church and oh, what is that, at Odeonsplatz

I couldn’t find the name of the image below. It looked like a place for demonstration or something. It’s also at the Odeonsplatz though, close to the Theatinerkirche.

A historical platform?

Not bad for a film camera at the time even when taking pictures from the car. I remember we bought our digital camera a year and so after this travel.

Inside a Catholic church

As far as I know, there’s only one Catholic church in Gothenburg, unlike where I come from, there are countless. The baptism ceremony is quite longer than in the Swedish church, though the process is roughly the same.

Inside a Swedish Lutheran church

The altars of these two churches have different designs and characteristics but the symbols and paintings are almost the same. The baptism ceremony in a Swedish church is brief and for the first time, I saw a lady priest in the altar. I was surprised when they include and say “Our Father” in Swedish. I didn’t expect to hear this prayer in a non-Catholic church. The Swedish church above is relatively old as it was built in the 17th-century while the renovated and modern ones (like the Domkyrkan) no longer look like that.

L’Église Sainte Marie Madeleine – Church of St. Mary Magdalene is a church dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene. Located near the Place de la Concorde and the Place Vendome in Paris, this church offers daily masses, concerts and elegant weddings.

I couldn’t appreciate much the exterior design of this church, except the sculptured relief of the Last Judgment by Lé Maire in the pediment. The reason for it’s simplicity, maybe, because it was based on the design of an antique (Roman) temple. After two false starts, the building was finally built in 1806 and consecrated as a church in 1842.

The busiest and perhaps the most crowded place on this Season of Lent is the church. Christians all over the world are commemorating the passion of Christ. And the most significant day of the season is the Resurrection where people jubilantly sing songs of praises to the Lord. It was said that Mary Magdalene was the first person to witness that Jesus had risen from the dead.

HAPPY EASTER TO Y’ ALL!

This 210 metre office skyscraper is actually not so attractive to me. Located in the area of Montparnasse in Paris, it is said to be the tallest building in France.

And so I’ve come up with an idea of posting images of churches on Sundays tagged as Church Sunday. Coming up in the series is the Votiv Church in Austria. As far as I can remember, I took this pic when hubby and I were driving through some cities in Europe seven years ago. We didn’t own a digital camera at that time. But clicking here and there was only my concern everytime I got hold of my ancient 35mm camera. Yet, I wish I could have done it better.

If you like old architectures you would surely admire the Berlin Cathedral. This huge architecture was built between 1895 and 1905. It had survived the test of time when bombed and damaged during World War ll but later restored. Am totally wordless, can’t find any words to describe more.

I could hardly say it’s an apartment building when I saw it the first time. This splendid tenement is standing at a city center for years and remains an eye-catcher for passersby. It must be exorbitant luxury to live in one of its rooms or flats. But we never know how luxurious it is in the inside. The outside doesn’t always justify the inside.

This Leonardo Da Vinci’s Bridge can be seen spanning E18, the highway between Oslo, Norway and Sweden in the township of Ås. This stunning bridge was originally designed by Leonardo Da Vinci, the artist of the Renaissance, in 1502 but never built. It was 500 years after when the Norwegian artist, Vebjorn Sand took the idea of building the bridge. It was unveiled on October 31, 2001.

The bridge serves as a pedestrian bridge over a highway in the town of Ås. It spans about 220 ft. long with a height of 26 ft. The Leonardo Da Vinci’s bridge honors both the Renaissance artist and the contemporary artist of all time.
