Denmark Photos
Considering that my Grandfather kept this picture for years, I believe this to be the church that he was baptised and confirmed from.
Grandpa told the story that on the wayhome from school, he would take off his wooden shoes so that he could run a little faster during his daily shortcut across the cemetery by the church. This is probably the same church.
