Muonio Church 

Designed by Architect Charles Bass, the church was constructed in 1817 as a so-called semi-cruciform church and managed to survive being burned down in the Lapland War. The altar painting “Jesus Among Folk” was painted by Anton Lindfors and depicts a rainbow in an undulating fell landscape setting. The monument in the church grounds “War Calls” was designed by Artist Viljo Aalto. The church is open to the public in the summer Sun-Thu at 11-16.

The Little Chapel

The Little Chapel is situated in the Les Vauxbelets valley, Saint Andrew, Guernsey. It was created in July 1914, by Brother Déodat. He planned to create a miniature version of the grotto and basilica at Lourdes, the Rosary Basilica. The Little Chapel is decorated with seashells, pebbles, and broken china. From a distance the colours and design make a pleasing whole, close-up it's amazing to see all the different pieces used to create the effect. It has room for around eight people
