This is a unique 'collaboration' in terms of style, the only survivor of its type after the Norman Conquest and the consequent new style of building.
However it does have 'links' with the Temple of Solomon, but not thankfully in a Da Vinci Code way.
Why is it unique ?

Hellfire and Edamnation!
You're simply no Gouda.
As if I'd link to anything Da Vinci Code related or Rennes-Le-Chateauesque.
The unique building has something in common with this later structure, which is a clue.Attached FilesVive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

What is its name and where is it ? It's unique because of the "Rhenish Helm" atop its tower.

Here's a fun one. It may be too easy, though. Who is the central figure here? When did he live, and what is he doing? Why is his behavior significant?Attached FilesThe Apolytoner formerly known as Alexander01

This is Cambyses, King of Kings, outside the walls of Pelusium.
He went to war against Egypt, ruled then by Psammetichus, and used the ingenious ruse of having his forces carry cats, sacred to the Egyptians, as feline shields. The Egyptians were loathe to kill the sacred animals, so...
Having won the battle, he manifested his extreme contempt (allegedly) by carrying cats in a wicker cage on his horse and flinging them in the faces of the defeated Egyptians.
Personally, I think Cambyses had a bad press- after all, no one has ever found a trace of that supposedly lost army of his in Libya, and he was written about by Egyptians (who had been conquered and then ruled by Cambyses) and Greeks (Herodotus was born a Persian subject).
An easy one if you're a numismatist, or Lazarus & the Gimp.
Who is the king who had this coin struck ?
Why is it 'unique' ?
