A watermill from Germany and a church from Finland.

A few days ago I added mills to my postcard wishlist and I immediatly started to get them. Gerald sent me a watermill located in Barmstedt. Rantzau watermill dates from 1863 and is still used when there is enough water.
The grey stone church of St. John in Hauho, was built probably at the beginning of 16th century. The present sacristy made of bricks replaced the old medieval one 1783-1784. The bell tower was built in 1811. The church bells were moved over to the new church in 1885.
There are several medieval wooden statues in the church, for example St. Peter and St. Anna. - in: https://www.spottinghistory.com/view/16/the-church-of-st-john/
