The use of forms known from the renaissance were extremely exaggerated. Domes and capitals were decorated with moulding and the former stucco-sculptures were replaced by fresco paintings on the ceilings. For the first time, churches were seen as one connected work of art and consistent artistic concepts were developed. Instead of long buildings, more central-plan buildings were created. The sprawling decoration with floral ornamentation and mythological motives raised until about to the rococo era.
The Protestant parishes perfered lateral churches, in which all the visitors coud be as close as possible to the pulpit and the altar. A common architecture for churches is the shape of a cross [11] a long central rectangle, with side rectangles, and a rectangle in front for the altar space or sanctuary. These churches also often have a dome or other large vaulted space in the interior to represent or draw attention to the heavens.
Other common shapes for churches include a circle, to represent eternity, or an octagon or similar star shape, to represent the church's bringing light to the world. Another common feature is the spire , a tall tower on the "west" end of the church or over the crossing. Another common feature of many Christian churches is the eastwards orientation of the front altar. This tradition origiates in Byzantium in the 4th century, and becomes prevalent in the West in the 8th to 9th century.
The old Roman custom of having the altar at the west end and the entrance at the east was sometimes followed as late as the 11th century even in areas of northern Europe under Frankish rule, as seen in Petershausen Constance , Bamberg Cathedral , Augsburg Cathedral , Regensburg Cathedral , and Hildesheim Cathedral. A church that has the function of cathedral is not necessarily a large building.
However, frequently, the cathedral along with some of the abbey churches, was the largest building in any region. A pilgrimage church is a church to which pilgrimages are regularly made, or a church along a pilgrimage route, often located at the tomb of a saints , or holding icons or relics to which miraculous properties are ascribed, the site of Marian apparitions , etc.
A conventual church or monastery church, minster , katholikon is the main church building in a Christian monastery or abbey. A collegiate church is a church where the daily office of worship is maintained by a college of canons , which may be presided over by a dean or provost.
Collegiate churches were often supported by extensive lands held by the church, or by tithe income from appropriated benefices. They commonly provide distinct spaces for congregational worship and for the choir offices of their clerical community.
Old and disused church buildings can be seen as an interesting proposition for developers as the architecture and location often provide for attractive homes [16] or city centre entertainment venues [17] On the other hand, many newer churches have decided to host meetings in public buildings such as schools, [18] universities, [19] cinemas [20] or theatres.
There is another trend to convert old buildings for worship rather than face the construction costs and planning difficulties of a new build. Unusual venues in the UK include an old Tram power station, [22] a former bus garage , [23] an old cinema and bingo hall, [24] a former Territorial Army Drill Hall, [25] and a former synagogue.
There has been an increase in partnerships between church management and private real estate companies to redevelop church properties into mixed uses. While it has garnered criticism from some, the partnership offers congregations the opportunity to increase revenue while preserving the property.
