    Protestant one and service is held there every Sunday.
    In every graveyard nearly there is a small house. Before, when the medical profession was in its infancy people used steal the corpses and sell them. To prevent this the people built a house and when a person was buried the relatives used to watch for a few nights to prevent it being stolen.
    The unbaptized children were in the unconsecrated part of the yard.
