      🏛 Church of the Lesser Ascension

      • The church is mentioned from 1548; the current stone building dates from 1634.
      • The name "Lesser Ascension" stuck from the 1830s, to distinguish it from the new Church of the Greater Ascension.
      • In 1929 the bells were sent to be melted down, and in 1937 the church was closed.
      • The church was returned to the Church in 1992, and its main altar was consecrated on 3 June 1992.
