These medieval creatures, bound in fantasy, were symbols of protection used in a great deal of gothic architecture in both Europe and America. These interesting creatures graced the upper levels of cathedrals, castles, museums, and even libraries, and other large structures using the gothic style. Watch for even more gargoyles to be added to this page in the coming months. Gargoyles are found in other cultures as well,hailing from other places than Europe, for example, southeast Asia. These gargoyles, when available will be included in our tribal art section.
