Art in the ArtSpots App

Architecture! The church replaced St. Peter's Church, which was destroyed by fire on August 14, 1896. King Leopold II had great plans for Ostend and would have liked the demolition of this dean church. But he met resistance from the dean. Some people from the Bruges bourgeoisie spread the rumor that the king would know more about the fire. The fact is that after months of investigation, the public prosecutor could not find a perpetrator. But the prestigious church could now be built. The new church was built in neo-Gothic style between 1899 and 1905 according to the detailed plans of the Bruges city architect Louis Delacenserie (1838-1909). At first he had refused that assignment due to lack of time, but, under pressure from Leopold II, he nevertheless accepted the assignment. The style of the church is mirrored in the Gothic style of Cologne Cathedral, but also in the neo-Gothic Votive Church in Vienna by djietie on 30.10.2020 | #art #kunst #artspots

ASP 02 S9 TransArtSpots is a non-profit and 100% community-driven project. We run it because we love to discover art and share it with others. The app does not contain any ads and we do not get money from this project at all. That's why we ask for your help! 

Wanna help spread the word about the App?

It would be great if you can tell your friends about ArtSpots, or if you run a website or blog, share the news and post a page. If you are active on social media, please also spread the word among your friends - art needs a space without commerce and it should be us, who count, not money and some shareholders. Thank you!

If you need pictures and stuff, here is the download to a media package, containing screens of the app, the image teaser and a short description you can freely use.

See you in ArtSpots.
