Book Description
Calvinist Reformation and religious practice during the late 16th and 17th centuries greatly influenced architecture, appearance, and arrangement of places of worship. In some areas Calvinist Reformation led to the adaptation of existing buildings, elsewhere it resulted in innovative new designs. Reformed places of worship also reflected local considerations, vested interests, and civic aspirations, often employing the latest styles and forms of decoration. Here they provide a lens through which to examine the impact of the Reformation at a local level and the character of different religious settlements across Europe. Based on original research and site visits, this book charts the impact of the Reformed faith across Europe, concentrating in particular on France, the Netherlands, and Scotland.
