Presentation Transcript

  1. Only very few houses of Heidelberg were to survive the demolitions during the Wars of Succession. The most magnificent and beautiful of all is the building opposite of the Church of the Holy Spirit. In the history of German architecture, it is considered to be one of the most impressive monuments of the late Renaissance period. The house, named after the sculpture at the top, is called "Zum Ritter Sankt Georg" (Knight St. George). It was erected in 1592 by Charles Belier, a huguenot who had emigrated from France to Heidelberg. The Renaissance structure of the building's facade is a special point of interest. The facade's surface is abundantly decorated by ornaments.
