点评:Perhaps the most beautiful or at least most picture perfect Strasbourg church is one of its newest. At nearly 130 years old, St. Paul's is not really new, but compared to the major churches of the Grande Ile, it is certainly younger by centuries. It is the Protestant Neustadt counter to the Catholic St. Peter the Younger, built at nearly the same time during the German Empire period in 1897. Unlike its Neo Romanesque counter, this is a beautiful Neo Gothic design with not one but 3 amazing rose windows. It is further distinguished by twin Gothic spires that mirror each other. However its interior and exterior beauty is only accentuated by the church's setting on a fork of the River Ill as it winds to the Rhine.
Unfortunately, our cruise visited Strasbourg on a Monday which is the only day the church is closed. Still, I had a chance to see exterior of the church during my walk through the Neustadt. You can get great pictures of the church from the road in front of the church, but I agree the best are from the bridge back towards the Grand Ile. It is the second best picture in Strasbourg after the Pons Covet from the Barrage Vauban. Additionally, you can get great pictures of the church from the top of the Cathedral as well.
翻译:或许,斯特拉斯堡最美、或者至少是风景最美的教堂当属其最新的教堂之一。圣保罗大教堂已有近130年历史,算不上新教堂,但与大岛的主要教堂相比,它无疑年轻了几个世纪。它是新教新城教堂,与天主教小圣彼得教堂相对应,后者几乎建于1897年德意志帝国时期的同一时期。与新罗马式教堂不同,这座教堂采用美丽的新哥特式设计,拥有三扇令人惊叹的玫瑰窗,而非一扇。它的另一大特色是两座相互映衬的哥特式尖顶。然而,教堂位于伊尔河蜿蜒流向莱茵河的岔路口,更突显了其内外兼修的美感。
可惜的是,我们的游轮在周一抵达斯特拉斯堡,而这天也是教堂唯一闭馆的日子。尽管如此,我在新城漫步时还是有机会欣赏了教堂的外观。您可以从教堂前的道路上拍摄出很棒的教堂照片,但我同意最好的照片是从通往大岛的桥上拍摄的。这是斯特拉斯堡继沃邦拦河坝(Barrage Vauban)拍摄科维桥(Pons Covet)之后第二佳的拍摄地点。此外,您也可以从大教堂的顶部拍摄出很棒的教堂照片。
