Saka Baptist Church

| Latvia | 25 seen

An interesting church I discovered driving Aizpute - Pāvilosta road, back at the Summer 2015 - Meet Saka Baptist church in the middle of nowhere. Thus the church was closed, I was amazed of how well the territory around Saka Baptist church was landscaped.

There is an inscription plate above the main entrance doors at church saying this church was built in 1888, although there is written in strange (old?) Latvian - Bap.Basniza, which would translate as Baptist church, thus there is no such  word as Basniza in modern Latvian, instead there is Baznīca.

We didn't met any people here today, but as I told above, I was really surprised of seeing very well landscaped territory, freshly cut lawn, flower garden and more.
