ERNST on the Bückeburger Stadtkirche

Despite large letters proclaiming on the facade of the Bückeburger Stadtkirche EXEMPLUM RELIGIONIS NON STRUCTURAE — An Example of Piety, Not of Architecture — the church is considered the most important example of non-secular Weser Renaissance. The letters highlighted in golden spelled the name of the sponsor: ERNST while the coat of arms is that of Schaumburg.
