Petäjävesi Old Church - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Petäjävesi Old Church is a UNESCO World Heritage site and beautiful wooden church in rural Finland. It was built in the 13th century and has survived remarkably intact since then. It's a fantastic example of vernacular architecture, where local craftsmen used local materials to build functional structures, rather than matching current artistic tastes. There's some really beautiful stuff here at Petäjävesi Old Church let's have a closer look.

Temple Church London - Places to Visit in London - London UK
Some of the churches in London city attract tourists and visitors to them for the history they carry behind and for the stories they might be able to tell. Temple Church in London is one of these old churches in town which attracts lots of visitors to it for standing there for a long period of time.
The Temple Church in London dates back to the late 12th century and it is located between Fleet Street and River Thames. This church was built in these old days by the Templar Knights to be considered their English headquarters. The church is owned by the Inner Temple and the Middle Temple Inns of Court. The Temple Church might be famous for its history and lots of different other things, but one of the things that made it that popular since it was built is the round shape which is the common feature for the Knights Templar churches, as well as for its 13th and 14th centuries effigies.
Unfortunately, the first appearance for the church is not the same one which people experience visiting and witness today because this church was damaged by German bombing during the World War II and thus it has been then restored and rebuilt one more time.
The area that is surrounding the Temple Church is known as the Temple for the existence of the church, and nearby in the middle of Fleet Street stood the Temple Bar, an ornamental processional gateway. There is also the Temple underground station that is very close to this area and also the reason behind giving it that name.
At the beginning of the journey, the church was used for Templar initiation ceremonies. Today, Temple Church holds regular church services that include Holy Communion and Mattins on Sunday morning, it also holds some weddings but only for the members of the Inner and Middle Temples, since it serves both temples as a private chapel.
In addition to the different celebrations and occasions that might be held in the church - even if for specific people only and with some rules - the church also offers regular choral music performances and organ recitals. One of the famous examples to mention here is the Temple Choir in 1927 under George Thalben-Ball, which became world famous with its recording of Mendelssohn's Hear my Prayer, including the solo O for the Wings of the Dove sung by Ernest Lough. This became one of the most famous recordings by a church choir and it even sold a lot through the twentieth century.
Even though this temple serves the two Inns' members and staff, and all those who work in the oasis of calm known as The Temple, it is also important to mention that visitors are always welcomed into the church for whatever reason - except for holding a wedding - it could be for discovering this old church and the area surrounding it, it could be for finding some peace and quiet and of course visitors from all over the world are welcomed into this church if they need to pray.
London is one of the top cities that is visited by tourists from all around the world and this goes back to the history it carries behind and which formed what it has reached today, and at the same time it goes back to the buildings, museums and all the other attractions that call out for the people to come and check them.
There are lots of things to be seen in the city of London - your trip will be stuffed - but since we are talking about history and the buildings that are still standing until this day, we should then shed the lights on some important destinations, such as the Royal Albert Hall ( Hay's Galleria ( Westminster Abbey ( St. Paul's Cathedral ( Houses of Parliament ( Royal Court of Justice ( and of course Big Ben which we are not even supposed to mention for the already-existing attention it is always taking (
There are actually lots of places and buildings to visit and check in London city that would take you back through the years and not just bring a good history behind, but will inform you with some stories which you might have never heard anything about and which at the same time always end to be interesting ones.
We have toured London and went to different attractions and places which we loved and would differently recommend for you, but to make it easier at this point especially for those who want something quick for their short vacation, you could check the top 10 things to do in London and go back home satisfied with what you have seen (
Enjoy knowing more about the Temple Church and put it in your plan for the next visit to London city.
