That’s true for most of Europe, since protestant split happened so late

Almost all of which were built before the reformation.
Ulm Minster, Cologne Cathedral, Speyerer Dom, the Berlin Cathedral, all originally Catholic.
England is a better example since their brand of Protestantism really favored big works to rival the Catholics.

Those aren’t really Protestant churches, are they? Aren’t they Anglican Church or something?
Rothe@piefed.social 16 hours ago
The Anglican church is technically also a Protestant church.

Huh, didn’t realise. It’s for sure not catholic, but thought it was something in between.
