List Of Methodist Churches
This is a list of notable Methodist churches, either of notable congregations or of notable buildings or other places of worship.

The chapel measures about eighty square meters and has a pitched, wooden roof. Its most striking element is that it's made of limestone stones, and built by hand. Except for around the windows, the mortar used as an adhesive between the stones is practically imperceptible, creating the impression that the stones are supported by their own geometric tie and weight. The building lacks a foundation. The main facade of the building is dominated by an impressive portico on which the belfry is supported. It houses the original bell of 1912.
