The Beautiful Architecture of Old Churches

As you all know, my husband and I do a great deal of traveling. We love taking road trips and don’t care if it’s a day trip, weekend getaway or an entire vacation. When we travel, we prefer to do it by car, so that we can see & do many different things.

One thing that we LOVE to do is to check out old churches! We love sitting there and looking at their beautiful stained glass windows, religious statuary and of course, the old architecture from when they were built. If you ask me, the older the church, the better.

Since we love looking at old buildings, especially churches, we thought we would share two photos with all of you of ones that are nearby our home. We do NOT have any affiliations with either one.

The one featured in the first photo is of an old one that is located in downtown Hershey Pennsylvania. I see a little bit of gothic influence as well as victorian with it. I love the gray & white coloring and the stone arch out front that the parishioners walk-through when they enter & leave.

The second one featured in this post is one that is located in a small town called Hummelstown in Pennsylvania which sits right outside of Hershey. This one isn’t as “fancy” as the first one but it’s definitely old. Hubby said it’s over 100+ years old. He loves all of the hand stonework that is featured on this particular building.

Do any of you enjoy driving around and looking at old buildings? What about old churches? Got any favorites near you? I would love to take a cross-country road trip some day to just view as many that I could. I just find them so peaceful to look at.
