I found this place while searching the satelite images on Google Earth (actually, I was looking for another place, when I found this chapel). Because it wasn't a big detour on my way across Hungary to Romania, I drove over there, to check it.
The door was open, so access was easy.
The church, located on a hill in the forest, was built by the citizens of an Austrian town after a plague epidemic in the early 18th century. After a fire and thefts, today the church is abandoned and desecrated.
I named the place "ginkgo church", because a ginkgo tree grows in front of it.
