Gargoyles, they served a purpose and carried a message. Take a tour of the weird world of the gargoyle. Quazen The Legend of Gargouille Quote: The French have a legend around one of their saints, Romain. In the seventh century he was made the Bishop of Rouen and he fought a creature called the Gargouille. It was a dragon like creature, with wings, a long neck and was able to breathe fire. When Romain subdued the dragon he was not able to destroy its head as it had been tempered by its own breath... Lots of great pics. |

Fascinating stuff. I had no idea Gargoyles were so important in the structural aspects of the buildings they're part of. |

Functionally, they are as important to the structural aspect of ancient buildings in the same manner your gutter and downspouts are to your house. |
