Found this unexpected little #door on a #countryWalk around #Oxted. This must be #Limpsfield Common and it seems there are even more miniature houses now (or we missed them in 2016).

The image shows a whimsical scene of 'Peter Rabbit's Post Office'. The post office is built into a small mound, appearing like a hobbit-style dwelling. The entrance is an arched wooden door with the words 'PETER RABBIT'S' in orange lettering above the door and 'POST OFFICE' written below. A black hinge and a round doorknob are visible on the door. The structure is constructed from logs and branches, giving it a rustic, woodland appearance. A small English flag is seen in the background. The surroundings are lush with greenery and trees, suggesting a forest setting.

#Doorsday bloody Doorsday ... 💀 Oh, let's go!

I am happy to report that my trip to #Augsburg last week was a treasure trove for anyone who loves #doors (aka yours truly)! I only had an hour to explore the old town, but I found so many lovely doors. So behold, here's a badass one! ☠️

This is a #door of the #Stadtmetzg. Can you guess what this listed #historicBuilding used to be? It was built in 1609 as the #butchers' guildhall! I imagine it was deemed too refined for the messy process of slaughtering (this was done in the vicinity), but it was used as a central butchery to store and distribute meat to the city's butchers, using the Lech canal underneath to cool the meat in the basement and dispose of the waste.

The site burned down in 1634 and was rebuilt. In 1720 the Academy of Art moved into the upper floors (very random, I know). With the industrialization, the Stadtmetzg was losing importance and in 1930 it permanently closed. After renovations, was used as an administrative building by the city of Augsburg. In WWII it was severely damaged, but once again restored. Today it is still in use as an administrative building.

Sorry for the long post, there's just so much to tell. 🫣 To any Augsburgers out there: I hope I got the facts straight!

A close-up shows a grand, arched doorway of a historic stone building, the Stadtmetzg in Augsburg. Heavy, dark wooden double doors are framed by intricately carved grey stone. Above the arch, ornate ironwork features a central floral motif. Flanking the doorway are stone pilasters topped with weathered bull skull carvings. A decorative stone pediment sits above the architrave. The building's facade is a mix of pale yellow and grey stone.

So busy today, I don't have the time to make up a good #Doorsday pun. 😥

Today's #door or rather #doors are not from a church, ha! It's from the old #post office in #Magdeburg. It's an impressive #historic building (built in 1895), not far from the Cathedral. Today it houses the Justice Centre, but a small part of it is still used as a #postOffice. The signs say "letters" and "telegrams".

The ornate entrance to a historic building, possibly a post office, is captured in a medium shot. The building's facade is constructed from light brown sandstone blocks, showing signs of weathering and age. Two arched doorways, each with intricately carved stone frames in a Gothic style, stand side by side. The left door is slightly ajar, revealing a dark interior, while the right door is closed. Both wooden doors feature decorative metalwork and small, diamond-patterned glass panes. Above the doorways, the stonework is even more elaborate, with sculpted figures and decorative elements. To the left of the left doorway, the word "Briefe" (German for "Letters") is inscribed in gold lettering on a rectangular plaque. Similarly, to the right of the right doorway, a plaque reads "Telegramme" (German for "Telegrams"). Flanking each doorway are ornate black metal lampposts with glass lanterns. Below each plaque, a bright yellow post box with a slot and a small window is mounted on the wall.

#Doorsday's child has far to go ... all the way to #Córdoba in fact.

This is a lovely old #door from the Mosque-Cathedral or #Mezquita with details of #MoorishArchitecture. In fact, it's one of the oldest surviving gates of the former mosque! The door's decoration dates back to 855 when it was known as Bab al-Wuzara ("Viziers' Gate). Lots of Al-Andalus state officials used to enter the mosque here. The Great Mosque of Córdoba was converted into a Catholic #cathedral in the 13th century. It's a World Heritage Site since 1984.

A weathered stone facade, likely part of a historic building such as the Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba, dominates the frame. The stonework is a light beige, showing significant signs of age and erosion, with varied textures and uneven surfaces. A prominent horseshoe archway, characteristic of Moorish architecture, frames a set of aged, dark metal double doors. The arch is outlined in a lighter stone and features alternating red and white voussoirs. Above the archway, there is a rectangular panel with intricate, though worn, carvings. Flanking the central archway are sections of the stone wall with further decorative elements, including what appear to be blocked-up windows or niches with geometric patterns. The top of the facade is crenellated, with a series of rectangular merlons against a partly cloudy blue sky. The ground in front of the facade is paved with light-coloured stone slabs, showing some signs of wear.

... Thursday, I don't care about you, it's #Doorsday I'm in love! 😍

Another local beauty, this time the #Brick #Gothic castle #church of #Wolmirstedt, built in 1480. Apparently the most southern example of northern #BrickGothic, huh. It's all humble red bricks and a plain door, but when you look up - wow!

A detailed, eye-level shot showcases the ornate entrance to the brick Gothic castle chapel in Wolmirstedt, Germany. The grand Gothic arched doorway is constructed from reddish-brown bricks, characteristic of the Brick Gothic style. The deeply recessed arch features multiple brick layers, creating depth. Above the dark, aged wooden double doors is a decorative tympanum with an intricate, swirling reddish-brown brick carving. The doors have vertical planks and large, circular metal hinges and fastenings. Flanking the arch are brick columns. Above, decorative brickwork with a repeating quatrefoil pattern, typical of Brick Gothic architecture, forms a frieze. The weathered reddish-brown brick facade shows visible mortar lines. The entrance is approached by a pathway of small, irregular grey and beige stones with patches of green moss. The overall impression is of historical significance and Brick Gothic architectural detail. A small, illegible sign is on the right.
