Architectural Fireplaces for Church and Religious Projects

With respect to architectural design, churches and cathedrals are some of the most enthralling buildings in the world. In most churches, however, architectural fireplace mantles do not figure prominently into the interior design. Architectural fireplace surrounds can frequently be found in rectories, though, buildings that are extremely important to the Christian church.

Rectories, which are sometimes also known as presbyteries, vicarages, or parsonages, are simply the buildings in which a parish's priests or ministers typically reside. Historically, rectories built by the Catholic Church often housed several priests from the surrounding areas, and they were usually paid for by the church. The buildings that are typically thought of as rectories are quite expansive, and many contain large ornate fireplace mantles decorated with involved carvings.

Although these beautiful works of architectural artistry can still be found in many rectories, time has taken its toll on many of these exquisite architectural fireplace mantels. At Stromberg, we can restore these structures to their former beauty. Cracks, chips, and fractures can be repaired seamlessly using our innovative materials. We can also help you choose a new architectural mantelpiece if you are designing a more modern rectory for your valued men of the cloth.
