Interior detail from the 'Frauenzimmer' (Ladie's room) in the Reichsburg Cochem. The castle has old ancestry and is believed to have been built in the early 12th century. But it is not the medieval castle you can see today. That was destroyed by French troops in 1689. What you can see now is the brain-child of Louis Fréderic Jacques Ravené who bought the ruins 1868 and had the castle (re-)built, in the Neo-Gothic style - an architectural style that tried to recreate the medieval Gothic style, often ending up looking more medieval than the Middle Ages ever did.
'Reichsburg' indicates a castle owned by the (German) emperor. Which it obviously isn't today - but the name has stuck.

On a series of woven tapestries from the 15th century, depicting scenes from the life of Virgin Mary.
At Palais du Tau - the former palace of the archibishop of Reims. It was here the French king stayed before his coronation in the cathedral close by and after the coronation the banquet was held here - the first recorded one in 990 and the last in 1825. The palace gets its name from the Greek letter Tau which shape it resembled, a name first attested in the 12th century.
The first attested building in the place was a late Gallo-Roman villa, later to be replaced by a Carolingian palace. This in turn was rebuilt and now the oldest part of the palace is the chapel (dating to 1207) and the rest of the palace dates to around 1500 (with a later, Baroque face-lift 1671-1710). The palace was damaged by fire in 1914. It now houses the Musée de l'Œuvre which shows a great collection of pieces of art connected with the cathedral - from statues and tapestries to reliquaries and items used at the coronations.

This Gothic style chapel adjoining King's College (which itself was established in 1441) was built 1446-1515. This very grand building is somewhat of a symbol of Cambridge, and is also famous for having the world's largest fan vault.
When I visited Cambridge last November the chapel was closed for visitors due to the Corona virus situation - but now it has re-opened and I am very happy I was able to get an inside view of this fantastic building.
