+ Charlie Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I can't match it any British gothic cathedral that I am familiar with. I thought it might be someplace like King's College Chapel at Cambridge, but it doesn't seem to match that either. There are indications that it is British and somewhat urban, but I can't think of anyplace that really fits. + Tarte Gogo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Tarte Gogo Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Posting to continue the game.. although I'm not sure where this is... You haven’t yet awarded points for your previous enquiries! Ok this one is hard for me. I can’t figure out what to search. It looks like it was built in the late 20th century in imitation of a mix of roman classical and renaissance baroque architecture. I don’t think it is real: late Renaissance stuff, in perfect condition, next to a blue water lake like this? I would have heard of such an idilic place. So the only people building such imitations are Americans (Europeans have the real thing). See for example Hearst castle in Big Sur https://goo.gl/images/FhvORC. First I thought it is a Vegas hotel, but I can’t find one with love boats on a lake that isn’t the Venetian (and those are gondolas). So I am stuck! Anyone?

+ bashful Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 First I though it is a Vegas hotel My first thought too. Also, no palm trees in the pic so probably not in south or west US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
