This is an interesting photo of the exterior of St. Marcellus in Zetting, Moselle, Lorraine, France. From the outside, it does not look so magnificent but, since it dates back to at least 1434, it is an architectural mix of Roman and Gothic styles. It was originally built in Roman style and was later enlarged. The 400 year old “new” addition was designed and constructed in the Gothic style. I lived in Germany and traveled extensively throughout Western Europe, to include France, for almost nine years and, in my mind, it is one of the finest surviving unreconstructed churches dating from the middle ages that I have ever seen.
