Gosh, that's quite a strange-looking building. There is something about the shape of the roofs on the two spires which makes it look unreal - almost like a wooden-block church in a child's toy village or something. Any ideas about its architectural history?

Did you take one of the side doorway in full? I'd like to see that one if you did.

I love the roofs. Rooves. Whatever. Shiny! I bet they set someone back a pretty penny. It's a lovely church, though.

I understand the crosses on the lawn to
mark of course some of the departed but what are
those square items ? but I suppose they are
also grave markers...still it has a pleasantly
higgledly-piggledy look rather like markers
for some cosmic giant slalom perhaps one imagines
angels and elementals etc weaving between them

It has rather clean lines doesn't it? Rather tidy and German in a way. It's lovely.
And I saw the side door photo...that's fantastic!

We'll be doing a short tour up north in Zamora in a couple of weeks. That's the city with the most Romanesque architecture in all of Europe.

What a lovely church! Thank you for posting these. I don't always comment but I do always enjoy.
