Holiday in Hooksiel - Part four - Very old churches

The weather isn't nice the last days, so we went and visited some old churches. The churches around Hooksiel are very old, the oldes is from the 9. century. It is the church of a village called Hohenkichen (Highchurch)

The last church we visited in the last three days is in Pakens, a very small village with only three houses, but with a very large church which was build somewhere between 1250 and 1300.







That was my church post. Yesterday we went to Jever and visited the castle museum. But that will be another post, because I made so many photos, that would be to much for this post.
