In the top of the tower is the belfry. The cut off wooden beam once supported the bells. At the bottom of the pic are small wheels which once guided the bell ropes.

I'd love to know more about this church. There seems to be nothing much out there on the web. Really odd architectural style, split over two levels in mix of stone and concrete. Anyone know any more about this place? When was it built for example?
