A quick n' dirty (as usual) test in Blender at retopologizing and manually (pun intended) rigging a great scan: ["Hand"](https://skfb.ly/6GW88) by [Artec 3D](https://sketchfab.com/artec3d), available under CC-attribution. 

The base mesh used for the retopology is [Low Poly Human Hands (All Quads)](https://skfb.ly/6NUy9) from [Jeremy E. Grayson](https://sketchfab.com/JeremyGrayson), also available under CC-Attribution.

[Louvre Museum, Paris, France.](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiaque_de_Dend%C3%A9rah)

The sculptured Dendera zodiac (or Denderah zodiac) is a widely known Egyptian bas-relief from the ceiling of the pronaos (or portico) of a chapel dedicated to Osiris in the Hathor temple at Dendera, containing images of Taurus (the bull) and Libra (the scales). This chapel was begun in the late Ptolemaic period; its pronaos was added by the emperor Tiberius. This led Jean-François Champollion to date the relief to the Greco-Roman period, but most of his contemporaries believed it to be of the New Kingdom.

The relief, which John H. Rogers characterised as "the only complete map that we have of an ancient sky", has been conjectured in the past to represent the basis on which later astronomy systems were based.

Hore Abbey is a ruined Cistercian monastery near the Rock of Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland. It was founded by the Benedictine order in 1266. This model includes both the exterior and interior spaces, generated using a combination of aerial and ground photography (1500 images total). 

Most of the abbey was built in the thirteenth century, however many changes were made to the buildings in the fifteenth century including the addition of the tower in the centre of the transept. The cruciform church comprised, in addition to the chancel, a nave with aisles and two chapels to the east of each transept. The nave is exceptionally plain and the overall design is a perfect example of the conservative approach of the Cistercians. Hore was the only Cistercian monastery in Ireland where the cloister was positioned to the north of the abbey.  The ruins are now surrounded by fields of sheep and cattle and can be accessed by the public.

The Charterhouse Chapel Cloister

Historic wooden church in Trzęsówka, Subcarpathia, Poland.

From Wikipedia:
The church was built in 1759 as a court chapel of the Kuczkowski family. It originally bore the invocation of St. John the Evangelist. In 1778 it became a branch church. From 1788 it became the parish church of the newly-established parish of Saint Anne.

In 1903 the nave was lengthened by 9 meters, the roof was covered with galvanized sheet metal, and a side chapel and a granary were added. The wooden floor was replaced with cement board flooring, and the square windows were replaced with arched ones. In 1905, the interior was plastered, polychrome was laid, the altars were restored, the organ and the fence were repaired. A new organ was purchased in 1960. The altars were renovated in 1976, and the polychrome in 1977.

The building served as a parish church until 2004, when a new temple was put into use. On April 7, 2004 it was entered in the register of monuments

Modeled after the  Chapel of the Archangel Michael in Kizhi Island of Karelia (Russia), with a few elements from the Chapel of the Holy Face.

The Chapel of the Archangel Michael was moved to Kizhi in 1961 from the Lelikozero village. It measures 12.0×3.0×11.0 metres and has a rectangular frame elongated from east to west and a two-slope roof. Above the entrance hall there is a belfry capped with a pyramid roof. The iconostasis of the chapel has two tiers and contains icons of 17th–18th centuries

The model was made for the ETW mod Imperial Splendour. It serves as a city model for the town of Hannover.
In the model itself are many historical buildings which once were located (and are demolished today) in Hannover as well as several drafts which were never built. 

I tried to represent the division between the old town, coming from the middle ages on the right with timber-frame and Renaissance houses and the new town ("Calenberger Neustadt") on the left which was built in the 17th century and where the townhouses of the nobility stood.

Most prominent on the right is the Marktkirche (Market Church). Outside the actual town you can see the Nikolaikapelle (Nikolai chapel) with its graveyard. Today the Nikolaikapelle is a ruin.

City Model for Hannover

A model of the prototypical gothic nave. This model is a synthesis of those found at Amiens, Chartres, Paris, and Reims. Featuring a wide central space flanked by two aisles and two rows of chapels. The flying buttresses are most similar to those at Chartres, while the roof's forêt closely resembles that of Amiens.

This is a partial scan of the cemetary in Igualada, which was designed by Enric Miralles and Carme Pinos. Miralles himself died only a few years after the completion of the cemetary and is buried there.

The space captured is a kind of chapel that sits above the necropolis. It is adjacent to the cemetary's crematorium, which is now out of use.

The capture was assembled out of about a thousand photos taken with a Google Pixel 2 XL. The large gap in light levels between the exterior shots and the depths of the interior made this one difficult to capture well.

VR viewing is recommended!

The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York, commonly known as York Minster, is the cathedral of York, England, and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. The minster was completed in 1472 after several centuries of building. It is devoted to Saint Peter, and has a very wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic quire and east end and Early English North and South transepts. The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338, and over the Lady Chapel in the east end is the Great East Window (finished in 1408), the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. In the north transept is the Five Sisters Window, each lancet being over 53 feet (16.3 m) high.

Sculpture of an angel on Calvary in Eisenstadt. 

The Calvary in Eisenstadt is an artificially constructed mountain made of stones, interspersed with grottos and small chapels, depicting the Passion of Christ. The Calvary was commissioned by Prince Paul I Esterházy (1635-1713), who had been very impressed by the Calvary in Maria Lanzendorf near Vienna.
