Neo-Gothic Architecture

Neo-Gothic architecture, also known as Gothic Revival, emerged in the late 18th century and gained prominence throughout the 19th century as part of a broader Romantic movement that idealized the Middle Ages. Characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, pinnacles, and intricate tracery, Neo-Gothic architecture reinterpreted medieval forms for modern use. Unlike the original Gothic, which evolved gradually over centuries, the revival was often academically informed and intentionally historicist, reflecting a nostalgic vision of the past.
