This article analyzes the value social dynamics of European culture based on the analysis of the semantics of Gothic and Neo-Gothic styles in the architecture of European cities. The semantic and social status levels of these phenomena are investigated. It is revealed that the Gothic style, having appeared at a symbolic level as a mature expression of the spirit and dogma of Catholicism, in the urban space appeared to be a marker of the social, property and political superiority of status groups (clergy, monarch, burghers, feudal nobility; status cities).
