The church you see today is quite new. It was built in 1932. This happened after the second church, built in 1875, sadly burned down. The current church stands tall above the town. Inside, you can find a beautiful chandelier. This chandelier was saved from the older church. The church's newer bells even have some metal from the bells that were lost in the fire.
