Description From the inside, the little church at Ording, North Friesland, looks and feels like an overturned boat. The ceiling is lovingly decorated and the altar is a little masterpiece.

Do you suppose the ceiling represents the Ark? Lovely photo.

Probably. The people and the landscape there are shaped by the sea. I think they have used the technique they knew from boat building to construct the ceiling. It resembles a shallow boat and could well symbolise the ark or the boats these people used and that kept them safe on the sea.

Very creative and symbolic. I've never seen anything quite like it.
