Brick Gothic

Brick Gothic is an architectural style that emerged in northern Europe, particularly in the Baltic region, during the late Middle Ages, around the 12th to 16th centuries. It is characterized by the use of fired brick instead of stone, which was often more readily available in this area. Structures built in this style feature sharp, pointed arches, tall windows, and intricate decorative patterns. Commonly seen in churches, town halls, and city walls, Brick Gothic reflects both religious and civic pride, showcasing craftsmanship and artistic details while being distinctly suited to the local environment.
