Mapping Gothic France
April 18, 2019 9:18 AM   Subscribe

Mapping Gothic France is a treasure trove of images of various types of Gothic structures (mostly churches) in France and England. There are other features, too. Narratives and historical tracking and comparison tools. It's a deeply textured website with a bit of an opaque interface.

Here's the map page - single click on a marker for a summary, double click for that location's page. From that page, there are various possible image types available, they are not all available for all locations. (via this article, and this is the page you're all wanting to see)

Clicking around will reveal a lot more about what the website contains, which is rather a lot.

Apparently the laserscans are not available for any building I checked that had more than cursory coverage, but those are probably fucking huge. The stereoscopic images are pretty mind-blowing.

The panoramas of Notre Dame are sort of mind-blowing. Taken from a lot of places I'm sure the general public isn't generally allowed. Flash required.

My immediate reaction was that it would be about the Visigoths that settled in Aquitaine, but then I realized gothic means something else now. I guess I've been immersing myself in the History of Rome too much...
