A comprehensive overview of Protestant church architecture of the 16th to 18th centuries in Europe. The three volumes feature entries on 1244 churches in 41 countries. The book takes into account all the faiths that emerged after the Reformation and all the countries where it left lasting traces: from Iceland, Norway and Scotland to Romania, Slovenia and Serbia. These three volumes, with numerous colour photographs and drawings, contain the first complete study of Protestant church building in Early Modern Europe (16th–18th centuries). The variety of building materials and the abundance of spatial solutions show the great innovative and entrepreneurial potential that was released with the spread and stabilization of the Reformation. It broke with the autocracy of the Southern and Western countries, which imposed their cultural patterns on the rest of Europe. The Northern and Eastern Central European countries have since been equally involved in creating new values. Their architectural heritage, still too little known, occupies a worthy place here. Countries featured include: Austria Belarus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Great Britain Hungary Iceland Italy Latvia Lithuania Netherlands Norway Poland Romania Russia Serbia Slovacia Slovenia Sweden Switzerland Ukraine
