Wow, the facade is incredible! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that church before. As far as Scandinavian churches go, Uppsala Cathedral in Sweden is also impressive.
 
St Colman’s Cathedral in Cobh , Ireland whose carillon tends to keep you awake until you get used to it .

Cathedral Carillonneur Adrian Gebruers plays the 49-bell Carillon to bid farewell to the veteran liner QE2 on its final visit to the Irish port.

The Jesuits commissioned St Walburge’s in 1847 . Towering 309 ft above Preston in Lancashire its spire is the tallest of any parish church in England with only the spires of Salisbury and Norwich Anglican Cathedrals reaching higher.

Many people consider St. Vincent de Paul Church at Adams and Figueroa streets to be the most beautiful church in Los Angeles. The Vincentian Fathers, who administer this parish church, first came to Los Angeles in 1865. The church as it now stands was built in 1925, and it was declared a historic landmark in 1971. Being so near Hollywood, it has also been used as the church backdrop for several movies.

Wow! Look at that altar! I wonder if any Latin masses are said there these days.
 
What a beautiful low Altar. Not often you see one as well implemented/ true to the original style.
