Visiting several churches
Jul. 14th, 2011 10:20 am
I grew up in Friesland, a Northern province of the Netherlands, which is exceptionally rich with medieval churches, over 250 in total. I always took them a little bit for granted, as we often do with things which have 'always been there'. But this year I suddenly realised: when I'm on holiday I will visit churches and gush over them, still I've never visited that beautiful Romanesque-Gothic church which is only 5 miles from my mother's house.... During the summer months, many of these small village churches are open for viewing on Saturday afternoons.
