11 Buildings That Reveal Belgium s History

© SergiyN/Shutterstock.com Belgium declared its independence in 1830, though its history stretches back much further. These 11 unique buildings provide snapshots of the country’s trajectory through time. Earlier versions of the descriptions of these buildings first appeared in 1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die , edited by Mark Irving (2016). Writers’ names appear in parentheses. Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp This Gothic building built between 1353 and 1533 replaced an earlier Romanesque church on the site. Its 405-feet-high (123 m) north tower was completed in 1518 and was intended to be accompanied by a second, which was never built further than the main roof level. Consecrated as a cathedral in 1559, it is a dominant landmark in Antwerp, while its interior, with its triple aisles, is typical of northern Gothic “hall church.” It is an unusually large church, though the Holy Roman emperor Charles V laid the foundation stone for an extension that would have m

14 Buildings That Lay Bare Scotland s Soul

©Kamira/Shutterstock.com “I am a Scotsman,” Sir Walter Scott once wrote; “therefore I had to fight my way into the world.” This list explains how these 14 buildings fought their way onto Scottish soil. Earlier versions of the descriptions of these buildings first appeared in 1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die , edited by Mark Irving (2016). Writers’ names appear in parentheses. Craigievar Castle If there is one castle that typifies the jaggedly romantic outline of the traditional Scottish tower house, it is Craigievar Castle in Aberdeenshire. With its jumble of oversailing gables and turrets emphasizing an uncompromising verticality, it wears the ceremonial dress of warlike display rather than the armor of battle. Bristling with features such as corbelling and fictive cannons, it was built to look fortified at a time when the need for serious defensive protection had largely passed but when the prestige associated with military endeavor was still deeply embe

19 Places That Exemplify Cool Swiss Style

© fotoember-iStock Editorial/Getty Images From the Yellow House to the Kirchner Museum, these buildings offer a vision of what Swiss architectural style means. Earlier versions of the descriptions of these buildings first appeared in 1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die , edited by Mark Irving (2016). Writers’ names appear in parentheses. Yellow House Valerio Olgiati’s redesign of a 19th-century building in Flims constitutes a radical transformation of its character. Placed directly by the curving roadside, the Yellow House enjoys maximum impact on the cultural landscape of a town otherwise hidden from immediate view. This potential is fulfilled by the striking presence of the restored building: a timeless, deeply textured surface bearing the marks of construction, painted overall in white to emerge as a gloriously abstract volume. Its name the Yellow House is the last vestige of its past embodiment as a bourgeois town house with Neoclassical stylistic pretensions.
