Brick Gothic
|
|
In Northern Germany, Scandinavia and northern Poland, in areas where
native stone was unavailable, simplified provincial gothic churches
were built of brick. The resultant style is called Backsteingotik in
Germany and Poland. The biggest brick gothic building is the
Teutonic Knights Castle of Malbork in Poland and the biggest brick
gothic church is the St. Mary's Church, Gdańsk in Gdansk. The most
famous example in Denmark is Roskilde Cathedral. Brick gothic
buildings were associated with the Hanseatic League and the Teutonic
Knights. There are over one hundred brick gothic castles in northern
Poland built by the Teutonic Knights.
Brick Gothic is a reduced style of Gothic architecture in Northern
Europe, especially in the regions around the Baltic Sea without
natural rock resources. The buildings are built more or less using
only bricks. The resultant style is called Backsteingotik in Germany
and Poland. Brick Gothic buildings therefore are to be found in the
Baltic countries Denmark, Finland, Germany, Poland, Lithuania,
Latvia, Estonia, Russia and Sweden. Many of them are World Heritage
Sites. |
The most famous example in Denmark is the large Roskilde Cathedral.
Scania in southern Sweden was part of Denmark until 1658, which is
where we find brick Gothic churches in current day Sweden. There is
the early 13th century Saint Petri Church in Malmö, the Saint Mary
Church in Helsingborg and a Saint Mary Church in Ystad.
Both the Västerås and Strängnäs Cathedrals are good examples of
Brick Gothic churches surrounding the Lake Mälaren.
