This beautiful, listed church has been awaiting a much-needed renovation for over thirty years, just like the nearby 'Gravestone Church'. Here too, financial reasons are hindering restoration. The local council had crack meters installed in early 2020 to determine the building's stability, but almost three years later, this has not yet contributed to a structural solution.
This Gothic church was built of limestone in the second half of the 16th century. It was partially rebuilt of brick, probably around 1715, and was extensively restored again around 1870. At that time, the facade was altered with the addition of a portal and neo-Gothic windows. The final work was carried out in the mid-1950s, after the church had been listed as a monument a few years earlier.
The most striking element in this beautifully dilapidated church is the presence of human bones, casually and disrespectfully displayed on a small lectern near the altar. The name 'Bone Church' is indeed due to the presence of these bones.
