A window canopy or a window crown is an architectural component. It serves to decorate the window or the facade, but also as weather protection .
description
The pediment of temples from antiquity is a model for ornamental gables in the Renaissance , Baroque , Classicism and Historicism . These ornamental gables are attached both above portals and above windows. Above the portals, these are called the tympanum and above the windows they are called the roof . The window roof emerges three-dimensionally and serves as decoration or ornament . The architectural component can consist of a piece of cornice as well as a single, cranked or split segment or triangular gable .
Examples
The monument topography of the Federal Republic of Germany names various houses as examples of window roofing . For example the house at Heilbronner Werderstraße 142 (“window roofing on consoles”), the house at Werderstraße 150 (“canopy-crowned window roofing with stone carvings”) or the house at Heilbronner Wilhelmstraße 68 .
