Those hanging lamps are gorgeous, I would love to have one or two of them. This is what I don't get, if they are destroying the building, they could certainly remove things like this that are not only reusable but salable too.

I don't understand either. Why couldn't someone reuse this building or at least save the pieces of it to reuse in another building. I just don't get it why it was just demolished.

To think of that beautiful marble just tossed in the dump, what a shame. Someone should go to jail for the outcome of this building.

This looks like it was part of a theater not a church.

Look at the expression on this face, like he knew what the ultimate outcome of this building would be.

Even boarded up it's gorgeous!

There should be a FEDERAL LAW against destroying any house of worship, I don't care what religion it is. These buildings are built with such grandeur, to hear of one like this being destroyed and tossed in the landfill makes me sick to my stomach.

Thank you so much for pictures of beautiful old church; one of the saddest Galleries ever, as we know it went to landfill.
Well done taking/sharing the pictures. Very important to do so.
It was filled with charm&lhope;&love; and care of every detail. Not in bad shape at all.

The church I attend was built 1350; and enlarged/rebuild 1450, and then renovated 1850.....standing proudly.

How very sad! Each tile set by hand - with love - only to end up in a scrap heap!

Yes, each little tile set by hand. The thought of it. It really IS amazing. So much skilled workmanship, care, love and patience.

Destroying beauty of this magnitude must be some sort of sin!

Yes - built to last. Good-looking and handsome. Full of beauty, hope, happiness and glory.

(*_*) Ohhhh NO.....only The Stained Glass saved?
The Lower Church Lamps are so beautiful.
This really is such a Sad Gallery.

(*_*) Yes yes yes, you all, THOSE LAMPS - can´t get them out of my mind - am hoping and praying they have been saved and are cherished. There were so many of them.
But....we will never know.....will we?
Thanks, Mr. M.
Thanks, flushed.

YES, - did freak, Big Time, honestly - 12baumarobi, and then gasped + panted + sighed, thinking about "The Landfill".
So many of them. So beautiful, 20-ties style.
May be they have been saved; hopefully?
They did this back in the days - built to USE, before the whole constuction was finished.
