Ecclesiastical Structures
Churches designed during this period often featured a single, vast nave intended to accommodate large congregations while focusing all attention towards the high altar—the theatrical centerpiece.

The design is attributed to the architectural school of Cologne, though later additions reflect strong influences from the emerging Burgundian Gothic style, part…
