Talk:List of regional characteristics of Romanesque churches

message: The article claims that Lund Cathedral has "massive western towers based on those of Lincoln Cathedral in England". What is the source for this? It can hardly refer to the current Lincoln Cathedral - if it does, I have to say I see no similarities - but presumably its predecessor. Is there a reconstruction of that anywhere? 
Even though it would be reasonable to assume English influence, considering the contacts between England and Denmark at that time, the models for the Cathedral of Lund are, as far as I am aware of, usually assumed to have been German (and Zettervall emphasized that aspect in his changes to the exterior). The plan of the crypt in Lund is supposed to be almost identical to that in Speyer (just smaller). Olaus 17:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the current appearance of Nidaros Cathedral, this makes more sense (I added a picture here, for reference), but it also appears largely to be a late 19th century reconstruction of a part of the cathedral that was badly preserved after the series of disasters that the building had gone through. The bokmål Norwegian Wikipedia has "featured articles" both on the restoration of the cathedral and on the western front. (I haven't read these closely, and don't have the time now. It would be nice if somebody would translate the whole set of Norwegian articles on the Nidaros Cathedral.) Olaus 08:50, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless of the restoration, the actual form of the facade was created by English masons who had actually worked at Lincoln. It was an odd choice actually, since Lincoln's facade was built piecemeal and retains a central section that is Romanesque. The lower, Romanesque stages of the towers almost disappeared behind the screen wall. The pinnacles on the corners of the facade (not visible in this pic) are so enormous that they are are big as the spires on many churches. Moreover, the best way to actually see the building is from a tower on the castle nearby, because when you walk in the gatehouse to the cathedral precinct, you are overwhelmed by this humungous facade and it's difficult to even take a photo.--Amandajm 09:47, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Lund Cathedral

message: It's Nidaros Cathedral that's based directly on Lincoln, not Lund! Thanks for drawing that to my attention! 
I've just taken a look at Zettervall and realise that I will have to delete a pic of the three spires on Uppsala Cathedral from Gothic architecture because they are also one of his "little improvements". (pish! tush!) --Amandajm 02:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
