what is inside the dome?

The article doesn't say anything about what's inside the dome. I guess they'd be windowless, but are there usually rooms or other usable space up there? They are big enough. 70.36.142.114 (talk) 00:55, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

That would depend on what the tower below them is made of. Inside the dome is cold, dark and sometimes only a small space because of the timber. A dome covered in tiles has many gaps and there will be birds. If the church is small and the tower is made of wood then it cannot support more weight than the dome. Large churches with brick or stone towers have more space. Sometimes things are hidden up there. I have not seen one with stairs to the dome, only ladders, so it is hard to carry some heavy chest up there. 89.46.102.14 (talk) 11:21, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

oldest onion shaped dome in Western and Central Europe

According to the article the oldest onion shaped dome in Western and Central Europe is to be found in Augsburg (1576). In 1520 however the tower of the 'Grote Kerk' in Haarlem was topped with an open onion. Shortly after 1533 the crossing of Antwerp Cathedral already got an onion shaped dome. The tower of Sint-Katharinakerk in Hoogstraten (Belgium) was crowned with an onion in 1546. This shows that in the Low Countries these onion domes were constructed far earlier than 1576.Fred Vanderpoorten (talk) 10:55, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

An older GA that contains significant uncited text, including material such as " It has been posited that onion domes first appeared in Russia" and material attributed to specific writers that certainly need direct citations. Hog Farm _Talk 14:24, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

• Delist, it's very far from GA, with a dozen of maintenance templates. Artem.G (talk) 11:38, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

• Delist the article is filled with maintenance tags, poorly formatted with a very confusing and arbitrary structure, missing content in several sections. It likely needs to be completely rewritten and is not salvageable in its current state. Ppt91 21:57, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
