Exactement!

Wikipedia has this to say on the church's origins:

Grecia is well-known for its unique Catholic Church that is made entirely out of steel. The story behind the construction of the church varies depending on who tells it, but it goes something like this:

A shipment of steel prepared in Rome was placed on a cargo ship bound for Greece. However, the destination was listed as "Grecia" rather than "Greece". For some reason the shippers decided that the shipment was destined for Grecia, Costa Rica rather than the country of Greece (which is spelled "Grecia" in some languages). So, the steel shipment was sent to Grecia, Costa Rica. Taking this as a sign from God (because the steel came from Rome), the people of Grecia used the steel to construct a Catholic Church. The Church stands today in Grecia as a monument to that shipment.

I for one won't be guessing until tomorrow. zzz...

My first thought was, 'that picture is an illusion, there's no such place on this planet.'

But then as it turned out there is, in Bratislava, Slovakia.

I must say I like the old church better we had from Bratislava in one of the first installments of the picture quiz.

Ok, where's this then?

[Winston]

Here's the Town Hall.

The atrium vestibule for the Town Hall and public library.

Hmm.. It may be too difficult to guess, and I'm having trouble finding more descriptive, panoramic pictures on the net for this one.

But the picture below contains an important clue. And I'll say that the country's 2nd largest river runs through this town.

Starts with an H.

[Kontiki]

Holstebro. Danish flag + starts with H + Google images = yay me.

[Japher]

There's a Danishland?

Is there a Donutland too?! Please say yes.

[Winston]

You are LUCY!

My hometown.

Kontiki, you get to pick the next place to guess.

Japher, you get to dream on about donuts.
