Hirsau style

Isaac Kremer/ September 9, 2018/ / 0 comments

Type of German Romanesque architecture derived from the great Abbey of Cluny, France, and developed at Hirsau (from 1082). Hirsau-type churches had ante-churches, two west towers, nave-arcades with columnar piers rather than massive square structures, plain block-capitals, and slender towers over the eastern bays of the aisles. (Curl & Wilson, 2016)
