Abstract: The article deals with the historical and cultural aspects of the formation of the Gothic style in European architecture. The problems of the specifics of style and its background are investigated. A brief historical sketch of the corresponding era, which in a complex gave rise to Gothic art, as well as the components of the Gothic style, is considered. In addition, some of the most striking examples and features of the most common technical means used by the Gothic on the way to finding its architectonic expression are considered in detail. For example, lancet arches and a frame system with a ribbed vault. The authors show the sequence of development of the corresponding methods and technical means of erecting the corresponding objects of urban architecture, which ultimately contributed to the formation of the Gothic style, which combined the architect’s creative fantasy directed to heaven and the technical innovations of the era.

Keywords: architecture, Gothic, frame system, tectonics, style.
