I assume the graveyard is still in use as well. Usually the oldest graves are found close to the church. But after a certain time if there are no relatives left to care for the grave (and if it's not of special historical interest), the spot can be re-used.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-42242377686976290062013-07-16T08:39:28.910+02:002013-07-16T08:39:28.910+02:00Some churches are kept open more than usual in the...Some churches are kept open more than usual in the tourist season (mainly July). But this one is probably too far off any of the main roads to be considered a proper tourist attraction. It was mentioned on the glass museum's website under the heading "other things worth seeing in the area", though, and not too much of a detour for us on our way back (but we had to drive on narrow little dirt roads to get there).

And I am guessing it is never rung for fear of hurting it, it is so old. I love the cypress, and why do the gravestones look so modern? Are people still being buried here, and does that mean this church is still in use?Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-7675902217713379562013-07-15T21:35:19.210+02:002013-07-15T21:35:19.210+02:00That is a beautiful and comfy looking church.

Sometimes a tower was added to the original church later. Come to think of it there are modern churches with separate bell towers as well.
