Sacral architecture

[mikezax]

...In Slovakia, praise to God, churches are still not demolished ... there was one church in my town, another building was built about 10 years ago and one is still going to be built ...
I have a very strange feeling when I see churches being demolished in other countries, or being converted into warehouses ...

Me too, I don't like it.

This is the smallest church I know of in this area. It opened in 1860. It's very active.
