Have a look at the door and how to get inside the church, simple stones as steps!
We wanted to get in but it was closed ;o(
Thanks a lot for all welcome comments and visits ;o)

Fantastic!!!
Wonderful detail in this fine image.
Looks Old very unique
Very nice view on the details of the church, superb and interesting capture, Rita!
Love the age of this structure. Your pov and clarity in this shot is super my friend.always a fav.
These are beautiful stones for steps. And, wow, this wood looks nearly petrified. Of course, I should be so lucky to look so good after eight hundred years! LOL.
Bummer that it was locked. Maybe they keep a spare key under one of the
big rock steps? LOL.
Very nice capture Rita.
So very beautiful!
Wonderful architecture. I'm especially fascinated by the intricate carving around the door - any chance you took some closeup photos of that - would love to see them if you did...
tomorrow 😊
The vertical planks of the wall rest on horizontal thick wood trunks. This as a protection of the vertical planks from rotting too fast. The lower edge of the door is at level with the top edge of the horizontal wood trunks. There is another advantage, too. Having to "climb" into the church meant being at a disadvantage if one is an enemy trying to get in. The people inside have a great chance to bonk you over the head with some hard object, or subject you to an unrequested appendectomy. Keep up the good work! :-)
Very nice POV showing the details, wonderful captures, Rita !
Lovely lines Sossy - excellent work.
Great photo!
Beautifu and trully great shot my friend !!!
many churches here must keep their doors locked during off church hours because of thieves and vandals.
very interesting architecture. I would like to touch the wood to appreciate it's longevity
Wonderful POv that seems to give the opportunity to come in this building and discovering some mistery in it !!
Einfach wunderschön!
Das habe ich noch nie auf bildern so deutlich gesehen: Das ist eine Tür, die einem ein Schwellenerlebnis ermöglicht. Da kann man nicht einfach so reinlatschen. Ganz tolles Bild, Rita
Fascinating building, fun to see
Excellent done!!!!!!!
It looks so very old and it looks like it could use some maintenance.
Hallo Rita, toll was du wieder vor die Linse bekommen hast!!!
Superb shot , great view !!
Diese Kirche ist eindeutig nicht für Rollstuhlfahrer geeignet! Fabelhafte Details und wunderschön fotografiert!
