I'm sure that the congregation made good use of their new space when the building was re-built.  However, I cant help but remember the thousands of old buildings I've seen all over Europe,  many burned out or completely bombed to the ground,  that were then re-built stone by stone back to their original beauty.  You'd never know they had ever been damaged.  This once magnificent church  is now lost forever.
