St Thomas Church

As if a cathedral wasn't enough we stumble upon this huge church of almost equal interior. Started around the same time this church went through many incarnations after burning down in fires and was only completed in the 16th century when it soon converted from Catholicism to Protestant. It makes for a very different interior. Still gothic but less of the gold and tall crucifix, although the latter is symbolically represented by a strange almost t-shirt motif hanging from the ceiling. It's difficult to imagine how the master masons built these structures without manuals and mathematics. But if you look up the pillar you can just about make out the wonky attempts to keep the line straight, more or less.
