The Liebenau gate/wall is indeed attractive. Does anyone have photos of the white brick wall in Mariawohl that stands next to the Nicolas(Maria Wichert) Fransen property? 

By the way, there are letters(1925-1936) in the Winnipeg Archives to  the Wiens family in Saskatchewan that are related to correspondence about the Fransens in Mariawohl that would indicate that the chapel on the yard of the Jacob Fransens in Mariawohl was used as a church facility up until about 1934 or 1935 when it was finally closed. It surprised  me to learn that it was large enough to accommodate as many as 400 people. This is the facility that Antoliy confirmed did indeed exist on the yard that we identified as the Nicolas Fransen, later Jacob Fransen property.
