MOC-191002 Church clamping blocks

This model, designed and authorized by Huebre, shows a Gothic architectural style with gray exterior walls and a red roof, reflecting the solemnity of a church. Intricate windows and red translucent glass reveal the pews and altar.

Gothic architecture originated in France in the second half of the 11th century and flourished throughout Europe from the 13th to the 15th centuries. Most notably seen in Catholic Gothic cathedrals, it has also influenced secular buildings, including tall towers, the use of ribbed vaults and slender columns, and innovative frame designs that reinforce the strength of the building's top. This results in vertical lines and a majestic appearance, complemented by large stained glass windows that create a deep religious atmosphere within the church.
