‘Gothic architectural developments elsewhere in Western Europe [than France and England]* occur slightly later. In Germany, early-13th-century [ce] churches still often appear Romanesque in style, and even the interesting four-storied interior **|of the cathedral of Limburg is so heavy and graceless in its proportions and detail|** that it is surprising to learn that it was begun in c1220, making it a contemporary of Amiens.’
