| The Bindnagle Lutheran Church of Palmyra, Pennsylvania was built in
1803 and only a few modernizations have been done over the years. In 1885
an itinerant worker from Sweden was hired to paint the church and he did
so with a faux marble painting on the walls and columns, Delft designs on
the ceiling and figurative painting on the back sounding board over the wineglass
pulpit. No painting has been done in the church since, with the exception
of some restoration work where hands have rubbed the finish from the walls
over the years. The church seats about 250 people, there is a gallery level
above the main sanctuary.
