  2. This looks like an unusual but interesting building. I have seen various styles before but not all in the one place. It looks simple as Naturedigital said and yet ornate. It seems to be a mix of Cathedral, Church and Town hall. This is a good set of pictures to demonstrate the interior.

  4. Such a beautiful church -- I was lucky to go to my cousin's wedding there about 40 years ago -- so beautiful a setting.

  5. It is a lovely old church and I especially like that Baptismal font and the Paschal candle. I would love to attend a service there!
