America is a relatively new country and we don’t have centuries old buildings, especially not here in Alaska where most building were constructed in the 1970s and 1980s. I really enjoyed the variety of architecture we saw on our trip. Here are some of my favorites.
Grote Kerk (Church) in Haarlem
Interior of Grote Kerk and interior of Rolduc Abbey Kerk
Our hotel in Amsterdam and a neat building in Haarlem.
A shopping mall that used to be a post office in Amsterdam.
Spires in Maastricht, a city in Holland where we had a wonderful river cruise and dinner
Koelner Dom (Cologne Cathedral) in Germany
This cathedral in Cologne took over 600 years to complete. I appreciate the talent that went into the ornate details, but I kept wondering what else could have been created instead of adding more to this building.
