Description
Construction of the Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle was comissioned by the Bishop of Villedor in 1770. In 1772, though, the Great Linden Fire destroyed the entire port of Villedor, making it impossible for construction material to reach the site for years. Work finally resumed in 1779 and the Church was complete in 1786. The Bishop of Villedor died the previous year and never saw the building finished.
