Lilliputian Chapel Made From Dishes in Guernsey
In St Peter Port Isle of Guernsey a tiny chapel named Le Chapel sits on farm land of the De La Salle brothers. Built from broken china and seashells it houses one priest and a two-person congregation. Brother Christianan guards the site, refusing to turn it into a tourist trap. The chapel, modeled after Lourdes, took 30 years to complete using discarded dishes and mortar. The brothers accumulate more broken china, unsure what to do with it.
