Write a reviewPretty unique architecture on top of a beautiful hill
Très jolie église en bois debout mais l'entrée est un peu chere
Sehr schöner Nachbau der Kirche. Es gibt auch einen Wunschstein, den man reiben kann. Liebevolle Handarbeit aus Holz. Die Kirche riecht durch den Birkenteer als wäre sie abgebrannt
