Reformierte Kirche Lavin

Description
The Reformierte Kirche Lavin is a house of worship featuring late Gothic architecture with a bell tower topped by a masonry shingle roof completed in 1935. The interior houses an organ built by the Felsberg factory in 1979, which has one manual and a pedalboard for use during services.
