Help with an enlarged, tinted photograph/print - recognize this building?

Definitely foreign, don't you think? Eastern European or Scandinavian would be my WAG.

 

It's a church. The crosses are on top of the roof and there's a graveyard out back. It does have something Scandinavian about it, but that could mean Upper Midwest. Tons of Swedes, Norwegians, etc immigrated up there. It's got some Romanesque elements too, so...dunno.

 

It could be as foreign as western Canada

 

I got that it was a church. It's very heavy architecture reminiscent of northern climates. You're right about Minnesota and those places that were settled by Scandinavian immigrants. Lutheran churches always seem bulky to me.

 

I just saw an Albanian church with a similar roofline

 

Just doesn't look very churchlike to me

Where's the stained glass windows?

And what's up with the suicide truck bomber barriers?

 

Terry, do you mean the bollards? Wonder if they ever had chain attached to keep out farm animals or runaway horse-drawn carriages?

Lutheran churches "bulky" eh? Would that be another word for "sturdy"?

 

Although likely someplace in North America, I'm getting a Ukrainian vibe from it.

 

>I'm getting a Ukrainian vibe from it.<

Ditto here. Eastern Europe feel to me. Believe there is a round rosette stained glass window over the front door. I known the steeples or whatever are not iconic "onion" shape like the typical Russian orthodox churches, but they are rounded like this "First Ukrainian Church in Canada."

and this Roman Catholic Ukrainian church, again Canada:

Here are some old Russian Orthodox churches with fences around them:
This one built in the 1930s is on St. George Island off the west coast of Alaska in the Bering Sea - "part of the Pribilof group of islands":

It may be Russian Orthodox or Russian/Germans, lots of RGs immigrated to North and South Dakota (and Canadian plains) and the landscape is flat like the Dakotas. The floor plan is obviously a cross (does that make it a Basilica?) the knave to the left has a round stained glass.

The bomber barriers look like stone hitching posts, I've seen some like that which are still extant that had grooves at the top or iron rings to lash to.
