National Romantic Style
National Romantic Style is an architectural and design movement that emphasizes the use of regional materials, styles, and motifs in the design of buildings and objects. It arose in the late 19th century as a reaction to the classical and historicist styles of the era. This style draws inspiration from romantic national sentiment, emphasizing local color and history as well as traditional craftsmanship and ornamentation. Examples of this style are found in churches, public buildings, cottages and villas, and other structures whose design often incorporates elements of the local vernacular and regional history.
