Gothic architecture is above all church architecture (of the period c. 1180-1450 or slightly later). It is characterized by large windows - often with stained glass, and by strong load-bearing pointed arches. In order to allow for large windows, much of the load was transferred to flying buttresses. Later, some features were adopted in royal palaces and in some castles. The style developed in nothern France (and possibly also Canterbury) towards the end of the 1100s. It underwent several changes, and in the late medieval period, it became very ornate and flamboyant. Outstanding examples include: * St Denis, Paris * Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris * Rheims Cathedral, NE France * Salisbury Cathdral, England * Divinity School, Oxford, England * Parts of Prague Castle, Czech Republic
