Pretty cool.

Many will know of this one, but it is neat to see/visit. St Mary's in Plantersville, TX ('the painted church').

(Yes, they have a periodic quilt show stilI I think).

Some cool older ones in Texas to see/visit are at this link;

Here are 5 cool ones I'd like to get to some day in South America.

My son is getting married in this church in July.

That's cool. It's a very pretty place, not over-done/imposing etc. Not that there is anything wrong with such structures for a house of worship;

I don't even know what great cathedral that is, it just had popped up on my x.com history thread and I was going to put it here anyway.

ETA, per Grok:

Quote:
This is the interior of St. Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom) in Vienna, Austria.
The distinctive features that give it away are:
The extremely tall, ribbed Gothic vaulting with the colorful octagonal lantern/tower visible at the top center.
The famous multicolored tiled roof visible through the high windows (a hallmark of Stephansdom).
The characteristic layout and stone pulpit in the nave.
It's the most important church in Vienna and one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. The photo is taken looking eastward from the nave toward the high altar.
