Edinburgh has been the capital of Scotland since the 15th century. With a population of around 525,000, it is the second largest city in Scotland after Glasgow. The city is a cultural centre, and is the home of institutions including the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town together are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Edinburgh Castle on the left, the Hub on the right The Hub is a former church building located at the top end of the Royal Mile. It now serves as a public arts and events building. The building is an example of Gothic Revival architecture and was constructed between 1842 and 1845. It was originally built as a meeting hall for the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. From 1929 the building was used as a church until the mid-1980s

The Cathedral Church of Our Lady and St Philip Howard became a cathedral at the foundation of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton in 1965. The cathedral's location, construction, design, and dedication owe much to the Howard family, who, as Dukes of Norfolk and Earls of Arundel are the most prominent English Catholic family, and rank first (below the royal family) in the Peerage of England. Since 1102 the seat of the Howards' ancestors has been Arundel Castle. In 1664, Catholic worship was suppressed in England and all churches and cathedrals in England were transferred to the Church of England. With the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, the foundation of Catholic parishes became lawful once again. In 1868, Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk, commissioned the architect Joseph Hansom to design a new Catholic sanctuary. The architectural style of the cathedral is French Gothic, a style that would have been popular between 1300 and 1400. The building is regarded as one of the finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the French Gothic style in the country.

Słupsk (Stolpe) was a Pomeranian settlement in the early Middle Ages. The Dukes of Pomerelia granted the town charter (Lübsches Stadtrecht) in 1265. A decade later merchants and craftsmen from Westphalia and Holstein founded a new settlement. In 1294 Polish and Bohemian rulers tried to succeed in Pomerelia. Wenceslaus III awarded Stolp to the Brandenburg Ascanians After the fatal attempt on Wenceslas III's life, Wladyslaw I Ellenlang (aka "Ladislaus the Short") reasserted himself as ruler of Pomerelia in 1306 and declared themselves Brandenburg vassals in 1307. In 1308, the Brandenburg margraves invaded and tried to militarily enforce their previously acquired rights. However, they were ousted from Gdansk and the eastern parts of Pomerelia by the Teutonic Knights. However, they were able to hold their ground in the land of Stolp. In 1309, the Duchy of Pomerelia was divided between two feudal states. The western part went to the Brandenburgs, the larger rest including Danzig to the Teutonic Order. After Stolp became prosperous, the citizens acquired the port of Stolpmünde in 1337. In the 14th century the city was pledged to the Teutonic Order by the Pomeranian dukes, who were short of money because of numerous wars. Because the dukes could not redeem the town, but the inhabitants did not want to live under the rule of the Order, the citizens themselves raised the enormous redemption sum of 6,766 silver marks. In devastating fires of 1395 and 1477 the town burned down. In 1478 the plague raged in the town. A dispute with the dukes that lasted for years impoverished the town and forced it to leave the Hanseatic League. During the Thirty Years' War, Stolp was conquered by Swedes in 1630. Wallenstein's troops occupied the town in 1637, and Swedish troops drove them out and completely ruined Stolp. After the war ended in 1648, Stolp fell to Brandenburg in the Peace of Westphalia. The Ratusz (Town Hall) was constructed in 1901 under Prussian rule in the Gothic Revival style. The tower stands 56 meters tall.

The valley of the Rhine seen from the 14th floor of a hotel in Lahnstein. Schloss Stolzenfels (Castle Stolzenfels) is seen in the backdrop. In the 13th century the castle protected a toll station. Destroyed in 1689, during the Nine Years' War, the ruin was used as a quarry during the 18th century. In 1823, the ruin was given as a gift to Frederick William IV of Prussia. In 1822, the Rhineland had become a province of Prussia. Frederick William, who had traveled along the Rhine, had been fascinated by the beauty and romance of the valley. So Frederick William had the castle rebuilt as a Gothic Revival palace.
