I wonder who used to gather and worship here? A small congregation I'm sure, since the remains of the church indicate a tiny building. I'm sure of one thing though...
...whoever built this now derelict church did so with pride and passion... I'd bet they would be horrified to see it in such a poor condition now. I guess this arch will last a few years yet...

Yes indeed. The few bits that are still standing demonstrate how well our forebears could build.

It is said that the best architecture makes the finest ruins.
I like the composition, just right.

That doorway arch just leaps out of the trees at you as you approach the ruin. I'll post another image of the church shortly...

oh good, i meant to ask that this morning, but I'd somehow logged out and it deleted my comment when I logged back in.

Really love this photo! It's so ... "erhaben" (= sublime. Although I was tempted to translate it with "elevated" or "raised" *LOL*)

Excellent building quality when you think about it
