In most of the countries we have visited there were two basic conventions..a clock tower and a bell tower (to warn of fire or invasion). It’s a beautiful old clock.

It’s a beautiful church. It just would cost so much to reconstruct it, no church has that kind of money lying around. I hoped they’d maybe make it a museum or something, but it is so small and there’s no parking either.
But they won’t. There’s no spare money in this town. So if someone doesn’t buy it, they will eventually take it down which will be a terrible shame, but that’s the way it is. Small towns don’t get the “big bucks” that real cities and suburbs get.
Unfortunately, I think that church is going to fall down or be knocked down soon. No one has bought it and no one is taking care of it … and in all this rain, wood rots fast. It’s a beautiful little church — a classic. But I don’t see a future for it.
It is. I think the problem is that it is small AND unheated in a climate which makes it pretty inhospitable in the winter. I think it holds maybe 200 people maximum, but the lack of heat and insulation is huge in this climate. The amount of money they would have to invest in the building would be monumental.
Amazing how often something so timeless is left to rot.

I think if it had heat, it would have long since been sold.

You need some investors to develop it. It would make a great restaurant.

I like this whole weathered look.
