A comprehensive overview of Protestant church architecture of the 16th to 18th centuries in Europe. The four volumes feature entries on 1244 churches in 41 countries. The churches described include more than 100 in the UK, 387 in Germany, 57 in the Baltic countries, 59 in the Netherlands, 42 in France, 130 in Poland, 36 in Hungary, over 150 in Scandinavia and 47 in the Czech Republic. The work takes into account all the faiths that emerged after the Reformation and all the countries where it left lasting traces: from Iceland, Norway, England and Scotland to Romania, Slovenia and Serbia.These four volumes, with over 3,000 colour photographs and drawings, 766 floor plans, and an extensive index of names and places, 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
