I think many old churches were built without a bell tower at first and when they decided to add one, the solutions differed. I have seen 20th century city churches with separate bell towers as well, though. And the "free" evangelical churches/chapels (belonging to other denominations than the Lutheran Church of Sweden) usually have no church bells or tower at all.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-24708948118039650962017-10-02T17:21:56.540+02:002017-10-02T17:21:56.540+02:00It is a big bell tower, yes.

The Swedish Wiki article says there are two bells within the tower.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-24743393374697113142017-10-02T17:14:40.454+02:002017-10-02T17:14:40.454+02:00Around here, more stone churches than wooden ones....Around here, more stone churches than wooden ones. But when doing a bit of research one often finds that the first church on the spot was a wooden one that either got too small etc or was destroyed by fire at some point.

That is my favorite picture. I'm thinking there is no bell in it, and it is never rung. Gosh, the bell tower looks bigger than the church! Is that also wood around the front door? I love the shapes, like a gingerbread house. So beautiful. All the little touches here are wonderful, even the surroundings are beautiful. The inside is very unusual and different, from another period.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-22285509628216834522017-10-01T22:19:04.937+02:002017-10-01T22:19:04.937+02:00...I see many wooden churches in this area, t few ......I see many wooden churches in this area, t few red ones.
