Belfry: Between the Catholic and Protestant culture

The signals of the bells may help people to remember for important events in history. The belltowers are interesting objects of the built heritage of various regions. Thus, we should be thankful to Borut Juvanec and his colleague Andreja Benko for surveying the bell-legs and bell-towers in a large part of Central Europe. Let us hope that they will continue this work. In a time where we witness too much globalization, we should also turn to localization. The bell rings... prof. D?nes NagyThe book Belfry - between catholic and protestant culture, presents the research work of two authors (Juvanec and Benko) that is based upon field work, evidentation, analyses and presentation of those objects of vernacular architecture. Output of the research work, besides several scientific and professional articles, are also two books ("H?rom orsz?g, egy harangl?b = Three countries, one belltower = Tri dežele, en zvonik" and "Harangl?b = Zvonik = Holzglockenturm"), and exhibition (with catalogue in four languages), which was presented in several countries across Europe (for example Hungary, Slovenia, Serbia etc.). The book contains examples of different types of existing belfries on the research area of three countries (Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia). Besides many photographic materials, there are as well textual contributions of both authors and Prof. D?nes Nagy.
