点评:there is a weight to this space that you don’t really get from photos or passing by outside. this is an originally-Catholic-now-Lutheran church that predates the Hanseatic presence by centuries, with deep roots that trace to as far back as the 1100s. it bears the full weight of Bergen’s earlier life as an ecclesiastical and royal city; and even as it has survived multiple major city fires and restorations in the past nine hundred years give or take, much of its core structure and medieval carved detailing that runs through its arches and structural elements are genuinely authentic; with that rare, weathered texture that only comes from centuries of existence.
personally speaking, it isn’t so much the general hype and awe of seeing old architecture that you will get out of your ticket price here; but rather, the slighter, more sublime feeling when you think about the number of footsteps and prayers and storms and fires that they have cradled along the way.
and now, yours will be one of them.
isn’t it wonderful to be part of that history?
翻译:这座教堂有一种厚重感,是照片或从外面匆匆一瞥所无法体会的。它最初是一座天主教教堂,现在是一座路德教堂,其历史比汉萨同盟的到来早几个世纪,根基深厚,可以追溯到12世纪。它承载着卑尔根早期作为教会和皇家城市的厚重历史;尽管在过去的九百多年里,它经历了多次重大火灾和修复,但其核心结构和贯穿拱门及建筑构件的中世纪雕刻细节大多保存完好,散发着岁月沉淀的珍贵质感。
就我个人而言,在这里,你花门票钱买的并非是欣赏古老建筑所带来的那种普遍的兴奋和敬畏,而是当你想到它一路以来承载了多少人的足迹、多少次的祈祷、多少次的风暴和多少次的火灾时,那种更为微妙、更为崇高的感受。
而现在,你的也将成为其中之一。
能够成为这段历史的一部分,难道不是一件很棒的事吗?
