Really? It was my understanding that although onion domes appeared in Russia by the 13th century, it was only later that they were found elsewhere in Europe, eg. in Austria in 1576.
Maybe I haven't been thorough enough in my searches, or maybe we don't have the same definition of "at that time"...
I'd be very interested to see some central/south european 15th century or earlier onion domes: do you have any examples?
