The church is dating back to the Middle Ages (14th century), the tower is covered by a regular roof just like on houses. Hence its name "saddle roof". It's about 10 miles from Hurdegaryp. The trees hindered a POV that allowed free sight on the front. Another, smaller church like this you find on one of my previous posts.

Het lijkt alsof de kerk recht gehouden wordt door de boom. Leuk shot, ook door het sfeervolle kerkhof.

I see you had no choice as you wanted to include a tree and get a whole front look! But the church looks huge and impressive. The eyes find relief on the tombstones of the cemetery.

Very nice shot. One that works great with the orientation you have chosen.

Wonderful capture. You worked the tree in well having little choice on the POV. Remarkable style to this church. I would love to be there with my camera too. I went to your previous image of the similar church. I enjoy searching out interesting places like these. Very nice.
