In the 1600s, French architect Thomas Gobert planned 12 churches whose forms spelled out the words LOVIS LE GRAND (Louis the Great). To make the churches look pleasing, each letter is doubled mirrorwise, for symmetry. If you stare enough the letters will appear, I promise.

The churches were dedicated to Louis XIV of France – Gobert was a bit of a flatterer!  Sadly for Louis XIV, the churches were never built.
