The elder Heinrich helped found the village of Landscrone in 1839 and was a footnote in the history of the Kleine Gemeinde Mennonite Church.  They deliberated over whether his buildings may have been too ostentatious.

It was much later, in 1909, that the local congregation built a beautiful church.   It was just in the last couple of years that the walls completely came down.   Buried in the rubble, however, were pieces of the floor.  The one in the picture was part of a piece that is too big for tourists to haul away.

The church also had a lovely gate which remains.
