Description
The Neue St.-Alexander-Kirche is a church building in Wallenhorst featuring pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and ornate patterns built in the nineteenth century. Large stained glass windows punctuate the walls, casting colored light across the interior while depicting biblical scenes.
History
The structure arose in the nineteenth-century Gothic Revival movement, which revived medieval architectural principles as a response to industrialization. This style shaped many religious buildings of the period.
Culture
German immigrants later brought this architectural style to other countries, incorporating similar design elements in religious buildings across Europe and North America.
