The Gardens of Versailles occupy part of what was once the Domaine royal de Versailles, the royal demesne of the château of Versailles. Situated to the west of the palace, the gardens cover some 800 hectares of land, much of which is landscaped in the classic French formal garden style perfected here by André Le Nôtre. Beyond the surrounding belt of woodland, the gardens are bordered by the urban areas of Versailles to the east and Le Chesnay to the north-east, by the National Arboretum de Chèvreloup to the north, the Versailles plain to the west, and by the Satory Forest to the south. Administered by the Public Establishment of the Palace, Museum and National Estate of Versailles, an autonomous public entity operating under the aegis of the French Ministry of Culture, the gardens are now one of the most visited public sites in France, receiving more than six million visitors a year.In addition to the meticulous manicured lawns, parterres, and sculptures are the fountains, which are located throughout the garden. Dating from the time of Louis XIV and still using much of the same network of hydraulics as was used during the Ancien Régime, the fountains contribute to making the gardens of Versailles unique. On weekends from late spring to early autumn, the administration of the museum sponsors the Grandes Eaux – spectacles during which all the fountains in the gardens are in full play. Designed by André Le Nôtre, the Grand Canal is the masterpiece of the Gardens of Versailles. In the Gardens too, the Grand Trianon was built to provide Sun King with the retreat he wanted. The Petit Trianon is associated with Marie-Antoinette, who spent her time there with her closest relatives and friends.In 1979, the gardens along with the château were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, one of thirty-one such designations in France.

Церковь Святого Лаврентия (Нюрнберг)
Церковь Св. Лаврентия — это одна из самых значительных средневековых церквей бывшего свободного имперского города Нюрнберга и одна из первых церквей в Германии, которая стала лютеранской . Св. Лаврентий образует градостроительный пандан к более старой церкви Св. Себальда и к императорскому замку. Первые упоминания капеллы Laurentius в Нюрнберге относятся к 1235 и 1258; план этой капеллы был частично установлен при раскопках в 1929. Современный вид церковь приобрела в 15-м веке. Церковь, сильно пострадавшая при воздушных налетах во время Второй мировой войны, была восстановлена в 1949. В значительной мере крыша и перекрытия были разрушены при воздушных налетах. Стропила конструировались заново, причем стропила продольного нефа реконструировались в виду недостатка аутентичных материалов из стали. Выполнялись также новые замковые камни, на которых можно видеть важных представителей протестантской истории церкви . Церковный орган является вторым по величине в Германии и самым большим среди органов в евангелической церкви Германии.
