187 DE - St Mary's Cathedral and St Michael's Church at Hildesheim (1985)

Brief Description

"St Michael's Church was built between 1010 and 1020 on a symmetrical plan with two apses that was characteristic of Ottonian Romanesque art in Old Saxony. Its interior, in particular the wooden ceiling and painted stucco-work, its famous bronze doors and the Bernward bronze column, are – together with the treasures of St Mary's Cathedral – of exceptional interest as examples of the Romanesque churches of the Holy Roman Empire."
希尔德斯海姆的圣玛丽大教堂和圣米迦尔教堂
"圣米迦尔教堂建造于公元1010年至1020年间，严格遵循了对称的设计理念，两个对称的半圆形后殿是老撒克逊(Old Saxony)时期典型的奥图罗马式(Ottonian Romanesque)风格。教堂的内部装潢设计也是神圣罗马帝国的罗马式教堂风格，特别是木制天花板、粉刷的墙壁，以及有名的青铜门和伯那德青铜圆柱。 圣玛丽大教堂的装饰也是这一风格。"
