Thanks Michael, the next one dates from the same years as Palazzo Barberini, but it is not located in Italy. However, important period events of history have a connection to Rome. The tower burnt down later and was rebuilt by a foreign architect from a country that is referred in the name of the church.

Hello Michael,

 

not Lithuania, but located in a capital town by the same sea. This building housed originally a powerful merchants' guild, was later changed to church serving a minority population.

 

Best regards,

 

Arto

Thought someone else might take the hint.

 

It is the Tyska Kyrkan in Stockholm. Originally the meeting house for the German mechants' guild in the city: Guild of St. Gertrude. They began offering religious services for Stockholm's German expats, thus the slow conversion of the building (in function and structure) to a church.

Tack Andy!

 

All this happened during the times of religious war and political unrest in Sweden and when the Queen Christina abdicated throne and moved to Rome where her arrival was celebrated in the Palazzo Barberini.

 

So your turn.

Now you are asking. I saw it when doing the Transamerica Classic Car Rally in 2012. It is in New Mexico, somewhere near Santa Fe in a small village, whose name escapes me if I ever knew it. We were driving between Santa Fe and Taos.

Close enough - the village is Las Trampas (or just Trampas), New Mexico. Along the high road from Santa Fe to Taos, as you say. Church originally built in between 1760 and 1776 and substantially unaltered.

 

Your turn....

Here is your next one in a slightly unusual view - taken in infrared in mid December.
