This is a great church. It has a great look from the outside, and the
interior details are fantastic.
Highlights:
Creative roof using the plates at different angles.
Inset windows add great texture.
The candles look real enough to light!
I like the minifig scale. Small enough to put in a medieval town, yet large
enough to add great details.
