What is a "broach"?
A broach is a triangular or conical stone ornament placed at the top of a roof or spire on a church. This decorative feature adds visual interest and height to the building, often enhancing its overall design. Broaches are usually carved with intricate details, making them stand out against the sky. They serve both an artistic and architectural purpose, helping to direct water away from the roof while also symbolizing the church's connection to the heavens. This element contributes to the beauty and character of religious structures.
