264:. It is a fieldstone structure, with a broad gabled roof and a slightly projecting square tower that divides the front (west-facing) facade into three parts. The main entrance is at the base of the tower, recessed under a round-arched opening. Windows on the front facade and tower are narrow Gothic arched windows up to the tower's belfry, which has three tall round-arch louvered openings on each face. The tower is capped by a low-pitch pyramidal roof with heavy brackets. Windows in the side walls are large round-arch stained glass windows, except in the first bay, where a recessed panel houses three small windows similar to those on the front. To the rear of the main church is a small chapel, added in 1915. 65: 90: 917: 374: 929: 461: 51: 906: 97: 72: 222: 356: 544: 852: 847: 842: 475: 540: 520: 515: 510: 480: 530: 500: 402: 959: 535: 525: 505: 485: 874: 495: 490: 879: 827: 707: 661: 594: 757: 732: 692: 620: 589: 568: 837: 773: 742: 697: 682: 677: 832: 737: 727: 630: 954: 747: 722: 712: 687: 640: 625: 615: 599: 573: 281: 783: 778: 752: 717: 702: 645: 635: 395: 271:
