ФОРТИФИКАЦИОННЫЕ ОСОБЕННОСТИ УКРЕПЛЕННЫХ ЦЕРКВЕЙ РЕГИОНА ТЬЕРАШ В РУСЛЕ РАЗВИТИЯ ВООРУЖЕНИЯ В XVI-XVII ВВ. (НА ПРИМЕРЕ ЦЕРКВИ СВЯТОГО МАРТИНА В БЮРЕЛЕ)

Abstract

The article examines the morphology of Thiérache religious constructions “eglises fortifiees” of the XVI-XVII centuries by the example of St Martin’s church in Burelles. For the first time in the domestic art criticism, the author introduces previously unavailable foreign sources devoted to the “eglises fortifiees” phenomenon into scientific use. Analysing the translated materials, the researcher concludes that the church of Burelles initially had a complex and logical fortification system preserving the tendency to further improvement of architectural and compositional schemes.
