Churches of the East: The ruins of of Saint Albain Nazaire, France.

Churches of the East: The ruins of of Saint Albain Nazaire, France.:

Off topic, given the location, but worth pondering.

The ruins of of Saint Albain Nazaire, France.


The 16th Century "Old Church" at St. Albain Naizaire in France stands as a silent reminder of the violence of World War One.  The church was destroyed by the French Army to keep it from being used by the Germans as an observation post in 1914.


Following the war, locals elected not to rebuilt the church and leave it as a monument to the tragedy of the war.
