I would be more surprised if that church was NOT standing. We visited church where my grandparents were baptized, and it's still beautiful. Not only did we visit the church, but when we were there in 2001 it was some church anniversary, so Swarovski crystal did a special issue with a picture of the Madonna from that church. My mother was going to be 75 that year, so I bought her one, and had to get one for myself, too.
