Noldor in Kezmarok

Description

From Finrod's diary:
"This is the town where Mirach's parents live, and where she was born - Kežmarok. It is a (relatively, in human measures...) old and historical city, founded in 1269, but the area has been settled much sooner, even in the Stone Age. You can read about it here, as well: [link]

The building on the left is the Wooden articular church, built in 1688 entirely of wood. The local Lutherans built it during a period of religious persecution, when they were allowed to erect only wooden churches. That is why even nails were made exclusively of wood. The church contains an organ of 1719 with wooden pipes, and has been in the UNESCO World Heritage list since 2008.

On the right is the New evangelical church" (or "Red church"), built in the 19th century. It was originally designed to be built in the middle east and its exterior displays a mix of exotic influences. Moorish elements are more reminiscent of a mosque in Turkey, for example, than a Christian church.

Ah yes, and the benches here seem to be made especially for us - there are made of as many parts as is our number..."
