The “big church”, as it was known, was completed in 1829 and served the parish until 1905. It was built on the same site as the church which had been destroyed in the fire of 1820 but was a bit bigger than the one which was destroyed. This church was demolished after the completion of the present church.
Date: [ca. 1830]
