Ardez

The parish church in Ardez was built 1576/77, the steeple is older, from 1445. The two-nave church's architecture is a mix of late Gothic and early Renaissance style. Balconies are carried by tuscan pillars on the northern and western sides. The pulpit and sacrament's table are from 1577, quite simple works. Quite beautiful are the wooden pews from 1789 (Swiss pine).

A wonderful capture of this beautiful church. And a great history to go with it. ~

A beautiful church that has stood the test of time. I like the perspective of it too, Jose. BV
