The Small Stone Chapel

Fachwerkhaus Windows

Today's puzzle features the windows of an old half-timbered house in a village in Germany. The term half-timbering is not not as old as the German name fachwerk or the French name colombage, but it is the standard English name for this style. Germany has several styles of timber framing, but probably the greatest number of half-timbered buildings in the world. The German fachwerkhaus usually has a foundation of stone, or sometimes brick, perhaps up to several feet (a couple of metres) high, which the timber framework is mortised into or, more rarely, supports an irregular wooden sill.

Traditional Pagoda Style House

In today's new puzzle we feature a traditional Japanese pagoda style house with a beautiful garden full of flowers and trees. Japanese architecture has traditionally been typified by wooden structures, elevated slightly off the ground, with tiled or thatched roofs. The general structure is almost always the same: posts and lintels support a large and gently curved roof, while the walls are paper-thin, often movable and never load-bearing. Arches and barrel roofs are completely absent. A pagoda is a tiered tower with multiple eaves, built in traditions originating as stupa in historic South Asia and further developed in East Asia. Most pagodas were built to have a religious function, most commonly Buddhist.

BMW Headquarters

The tower, on the left side of today's new jigsaw, was built between 1968 and 1972 and was ready in time for 1972 Summer Olympics. It is a Munich landmark which has served as world headquarters for the Bavarian automaker BMW for over 40 years. The main tower consists of four vertical cylinders standing next to and across from each other. Each cylinder is divided horizontally in its center by a mold in the facade. Notably, these cylinders do not stand on the ground; they are suspended on a central support tower.

Yellow Decorated House

Limburg Cathedral

Also known as Georgsdom or Limburger Dom this catholic cathedral (build in the late Romanesque style) is located above the old town of Limburg in Hesse, Germany. Inside today's cathedral, the outline of the first church built in 910 by Konrad Kurzbold on the "Limburger Rock" can still be found. Construction on the church began about 1200. The consecration was in 1235 by Theoderich von Wied, the archbishop of Trier.

The Cube Houses in Rotterdam

The cube houses( 'Kubuswoningen' ) were designed and built in Rotterdam in the early 1980s and in Helmond in the mid-1970s by Piet Blom (February 8, 1934, Amsterdam – June 8, 1999, Denmark) a Dutch architect. Piet Blom is a representatives of the Structuralism movement in architecture.

Colorful Beach Huts

This beautiful Saturday morning we're going to the beach for a day of sunbathing and swimming. Beach huts, like the ones in this new puzzle, are usually wooden and often brightly colored. They are generally used as a shelter from the sun or wind, changing into and out of swimming costumes and for the safe storing of some personal belongings.

Brightly Coloured Houses

Today we're visiting Iceland. The architecture of Iceland is mainly low-rise, with many low tower blocks and two- or three-storey buildings. Houses and smaller buildings are traditionally wooden-framed, and clad in wooden planks or corrugated metal. As you can see in the image featured in this puzzle the houses in Iceland are often painted in traditional bright colors: blue, red, yellow, green and others.

The Arc de Triomphe

Standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, France. The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. It was commissioned in 1806 after the victory at Austerlitz by Emperor Napoleon. The astylar design is by Jean Chalgrin (1739–1811), in the Neoclassical version of ancient Roman architecture. The four sculptural groups at the base of the Arc are "The Triumph of 1810" (Cortot), "Resistance and Peace" (both by Antoine Étex; the ones you can see in today's new jigsaw puzzle) and the most renowned of them all, "Departure of the Volunteers of 1792" commonly called La Marseillaise (François Rude). So what are you waiting for? Click start and let's put this impressive piece of French history back together. Have fun!

Colorful Wooden Wharfs

Today we feature the signature wooden wharfs along the river Nidelven, in Trondheim, Norway. The wharfs have a long history as storage and loading/unloading cargo facilities.
