Millstone used as building material in Pommerania

I visited the small village of Darlowo, Pommern recently with clients Bill and Kay Ruckle. The church, built in the 14th century, has an old millstone incorporated into the tower section. This is the first time I’ve seen this done (and I’ve seen and photographed more than 1,500 churches in my career) and so I thought it was worth an entry on the blog. The church serves the nearby village of Panknin, now called Pekanino.
