Gothic architecture is any of the styles of architecture, particularly associated with cathedrals and other churches, in use throughout Europe during the high and late medieval period, from the 12th century onwards.
It was succeeded by Renaissance architecture, a revival of Roman formulas, at varying times in Europe, beginning in Florence in the 15th century.
The Gothic cathedral was supposed to be a microcosm representing the world, and each architectural concept, mainly the loftiness and huge dimensions of the structure, were intended to pass a theological message: the great glory of God versus the smallness and insignificence of the mortal being.

 Gothic Art and Architecture
The particular phase of Gothic architecture that was to lead to the creation of the northern cathedrals, however, was initiated in the early 1140s in the construction of the chevet of the royal abbey church of Saint-Denis, the burial church of the French kings and queens near the outskirts of Paris.
In Germany the impact of all phases of French Gothic architecture was decisive, from the early Gothic four-story elevation of the Cathedral of Limburg-an-der-Lahn (1225?) to the choir of Cologne Cathedral (begun 1248).
The last flowering of flamboyant architecture occurred between the end of the 15th century and the 1530s in the work of Martin Chambiges and his son Pierre, who were responsible for a series of grand cathedral facades, including the west front of Troyes Cathedral and the transept facades of Senlis and Beauvais cathedrals.

 Gothic architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gothic architecture characterizes any of the styles of European architecture, particularly associated with cathedrals and other churches, in use throughout Europe during the high and late medieval period, from the 12th century onwards.
Gothic elements are the paired lancet windows joined under a molding that threw rainwater away from their sills, and the buttresses between each pier and on the angles of the gatehouse tower, with its fortification references.
In France, the towering figure of the Gothic Revival was Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, who outdid historical Gothic constructions to create a Gothic as it ought to have been, notably at the fortified city of Carcassonne in the south of France and in some richly fortified keeps for industrial magnates (illustration, left).

 Penrice Castle Cottages - Pitt Soggs Cottage
The male line of the de Penrice family died out in 1410, with the marriage of Isabel de Penrice to Sir Hugh Mansel; the Mansels were also of Norman descent and continued to live at Penrice until the mid fifteenth century when they built themselves Oxwich Castle, a semi-fortified manor house nearer the sea.
The Mansels rose to prominence at court and became the most powerful family in Glamorgan, to the extent that on the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s they were able to buy the vast monastic lands of Margam Abbey, near what is now Port Talbot.
As the house was finished, Thomas Talbot set about landscaping and laying out a park around it, to improve the romantic scenery that had first attracted him to the place.
