The interview went well, I think. Nobody knows how it will be when they have cut it but I don't think I made a fool of myself.
The 13th century wall paintings wasn't very clear, but huge!
Here are some pictures:

A man (possibly Josef?)

There are more paintings under the white lime wash which was put there after the reformation. It would cost a lot to restore them though and it would also expose the paintings to air and light and other damaging stuff.

I guess they hope thay will find better methods for preserving them later. And they're not really that beautiful, you can't se much detail. The main reason is money though. Next time the renovate the church they will probably unearth some more of the paintings.
