nolongerstanding

Jag besökte den här kyrkan en gång när jag var liten, och minns fortfarande tydligt hur det doftade där inne. Så otroligt sorgligt att den inte finns kvar.

I'm very sad too read (only now) that this beautiful church was completely destroyed in 2001. At the same time I realise I was lucky enough to see it 'alive' before that dreadful moment.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Svenska kyrkor - Swedish Churches, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Excellent that you are archiving this and so many other pictures on Flickr.
I appreciate your efforts.

Bellevue was a Big House, now gone. GeoHive OSI 25", I think all the crosshatched buildings are glasshouses.

A google maps aerial view shows the walls standing, but the glass is all gone.

Many entries in the DIA including a 264 ft range of conservatories in 1796, for Peter La Touche.

" ... a 650-feet conservatory, which would house many exotic plants as well as an orangery, a cherry house, a peach house and a vinery. Completed in 1793, this magnificent creation was then the largest conservatory in Europe. ..."

Ha ha! Beautiful gardens were laid out with winding paths and "extras" built by David and his son, Peter, when he inherited in 1785. Among these was the Octagon, built in 1766, with a panther on springs, which could be made to jump out at unwary visitors. The house was most famous for its huge glasshouse, built between 1783 and 1793, in which many exotic plants were grown.
