hall+church

Hall Church: A **hall church** is a church with nave and side  [|aisles] of approximately equal height, often united under a single immense roof. The term was first coined in the mid-19th century by the pioneering German art historian Wilhelm Lübke. In contrast to a traditional [|basilica], which lets in light through a [|clerestory] in the upper part of the nave, a hall church is lit through windowed side walls typically spanning the full height of the interior.
