威斯敏斯特教堂Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is a Gothic monastery church in London that is the traditional place of coronation and burial for English monarchs. Neither a cathedral nor a parish church, Westminster Abbey is a place of worship owned by the royal family. Located next to the Houses of Parliament in the heart of London, Westminster Abbey is a must-see for any London visitor. With its oldest parts dating to the year 1050, the Abbey contains some of the most glorious medieval architecture in London. Because of its royal connections, it was spared King Henry VIII's general assault on monastic buildings during the Reformation. The interior is a veritable museum of English history.
威斯敏斯特教堂是伦敦一个哥特式修道院教堂，也是英国君王加冕和举行葬礼的地方。它既不是大教堂也不是教区教堂，而是皇家拥有的一个做祈祷的地方。威斯敏斯特教堂毗邻议会大厦，处于伦敦市中心，是游客不能错过的一个景点。该教堂最古老的部分修建于1050年，保留着中世纪最优秀的一些建筑。由于与皇家有着千丝万缕的联系，所以该教堂在亨利八世进行宗教改革的时候才幸免于难，没有被毁掉。教堂内部可以称得上展示英国历史的名副其实的博物馆。
