Ah. That I did not know. Thank you for correcting my oversight! :)
I do find it interesting that the story of him nailing things to the door
might be a myth or exaggeration. I have often wondered how someone in his
day and age could have succeeded in such a thing with some inquisition
threatening his life. ...Although your explaination that the church door
may have been a regular bulletin board would give the story more
credibility. That was something I had previously been unaware of.
...To bring this back to .castle, I wonder what the Reformation did to
church architecture. It seems that most Lego castle churches I have seen
reflect a Gothic or Pre-Gothic style. Was this style used by all
denominations? Or just Roman Catholic? Did some post-Reformation
denominations use a different architecture style in their churches?
Just thinking,
