It was a surprise to find the church open and empty of visitors for a few minutes (a family arrived while I was inside). It must have been a refurbished medieval structure, modernized for use as a Protestant church. There were several interesting features, including a small replica of an ancient sailing ship that was hung from the ceiling. The prews were made of dark wood and were lined up in thick rows under a low ceiling, which was much lower than the central portion of the church.
