		Kenneth John Conant, author of Carolingian and Romanesque Architecture 800-1200, states that, "The character of Carolingian Romanesque," architecture, "may easily be seen in the buildings raised under Charlemagne’s own patronage" (43).
		The capitals are the block-shaped Corinthian type (Romanesque Architecture, 18).
		unlike the more fully developed hall-crypts of the eleventh century, the interior has no cross-arches, and so there are no bays, the ceiling creating the effect of a single uniform vault funneling to the columns.

	French Art & Architecture - Romanesque Period
		he Romanesque style in architecture can be thought of as a product of the architectural experiments of the Carolingian period and as a response to the needs of monasteries and pilgrimage churches.

		The largest and most important Romanesque structure was the Benedictine monastery church at Cluny in Burgundy (begun in 1088 and destroyed in the 19th century).

		The next chapter is an exercise in setting forth the architecture of the Carolingian Renaissance, where light is shed in an area of architectural history that for the novice is more typically hedged with exceptions and speculation.
		The early middle ages were an exciting period in the history of European architecture, culminating in the development of the Romanesque style.
		In this, the architectural expertise of certain early patrons is stressed, while the engineering argument is soft peddled, in the sense that techniques of vaulting are not allowed to dominate a more all-embracing explanation of the general integrity of the building fabric.

	French architecture. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001
		Innovations manifested in Carolingian buildings gave rise to the architecture of the Romanesque period, when many fine works were executed in France, and to the great cathedrals of the Gothic style, of which France was the principal center (see Romanesque architecture and art, Gothic architecture and art).
		Recent postmodern architecture in France ranges from Piano and Rogers’s high-tech Centre Georges Pompidou (1970–77) in Paris to Ricardo and Emilio Bofill’s sprawling neoclassical housing development in Marne-la-Vallée (1978–83).
		The revival of classical art and architecture during the Renaissance spread from Italy to France in the 15th and 16th cent., giving rise to the majority of the famous French châteaux, primarily in the Loire valley.

		Perhaps the importance of the Carolingian Renaissance for the history of the classical tradition is only incidental in art and architecture, and more important in the appreciation of ancient literature, the copying of manuscripts and the imitation of ancient hands and good Latin which this entailed.
		Renaissance artists, anxious to imitate human nature not as it was but as it should be, were forced to select features of the everyday world and elevate them to the ideal, just as the antique Zeuxis had selected elements from five maidens for his portrayal of Helen.
		For the Renaissance, indeed, there was no unbridgeable gap between antique and Christian, for they regarded the one as a variation of the other, another stage which (at least in those texts that the Renaissance scholars chose not to ignore) had nothing but good to say about the intellectual and moral attainments of paganism.

	Toward the First Great Renaissance Carolingian and Romanesque Church Architecture
		To Carolingian men, ancient Rome meant Rome of the Christian era, and it was this aspect alone that they sought to revive in their art and architecture that was built predominately in the lands of France and Germany.
		Yet, the Carolingian motifs were not synthesized into a coherent architectural style.
		This is perhaps the most distinctive aspect of Carolingian architecture.

	Building in stone
		the prestigious memory of Carolingian architecture, continued and developed in the Germanic empire, which was very much present in the affairs of the kingdom of France and the neighbouring regions in the eastern part of the duchy.
		Romanesque architecture in Normandy gradually defined itself in the great building programmes of Fécamp, Jumièges and Saint-Wandrille, Mont St Michel, Rouen or Bernay during the years 1020-1050.
		Normandy was, however, also open to the influence of the neighbouring regions of Maine, Anjou and the Loire and the presence among the dukes' entourage of Italian reforming monks who introduced into the duchy other models drawn from Italy, Burgundy and the highly influential style of the Abbey at Cluny.

	ipedia.com: Germany Article
		The first Reich – known for much of its existence as the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation – stemmed from a division of the Carolingian Empire in 843, which was founded by Charlemagne on December 25th, 800, and existed in varying forms until 1806.
		In 1530, the attempt of Protestant Reformation of Catholicism turned out to have failed, and a separate Protestant church was acknowledged as new state religion in many states of Germany.
		This led to inter-German strife, the Thirty Years War ( 1618) and finally the Peace of Westphalia ( 1648), that resulted in a drastically enfeebled and politically disunited Germany, unable to resist the stroke of the Napoleonic Wars, during which the Reich was overrun and dissolved in 1806.
