ボスニア地域における箱柱式教会の起源について : フィンランドの17世紀,18世紀木造教会に関する研究(その3)

Abstract

I wrote about the characteristics and the evolvement of Bothnian block-pillar churches in my previous papers. Finnish wooden churches were developed with the effective technique of the block-pillar style in the 17^<th> and 18^<th> centuries. How was the block-pillar style born? Concerning the trunk of the block-pillar style, craftsmen learned from traditional Finnish corner-timbered bridges and boat-sheds, which were supported by quasi box pillars. On the other hand they learned about the A-shaped roof trusses by imitating the trusses of the Swedish medieval stone churches in the Uppsala area. By combining both techniques the block-pillar style made long walls and high wooden vaults possible and thus created a greater space for the church. The Bothnian area was close to the Uppsala area and was therefore influenced by it. At the same time in the Bothnian area there was a long tradition of shipbuilding which contributed to a high level of craftsmanship.
