At night, the Milky Way galaxy displays an extraordinary backdrop to the little stone church.
"When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?"
- PSALM 8:3-4
Our tiny church is unique under the stars so we are developing an astrophotography tour to offer the best experience.
In the meantime please respect that the church and grounds are CLOSED to all visitors from dusk until 9am to protect it.
You may still shoot very good pictures from outside the fence on the lake side (northern side) by walking around the outside.
