Vintage Dept 56 "Church of the Open Door" Light Up Village Building. Handpainted ceramic. Measures about 7" in height by 8.5" long. Very good condition. Comes with a light cord. Does not come with box.
Add a peaceful presence to your holiday display with this 1993 Department 56 "Church of the Open Door" from the New England Village series. This hand-painted ceramic piece captures the essence of a classic American country church, featuring crisp white siding, a textured stone foundation, and elegant Gothic-style windows that glow warmly when illuminated. The architecture is highlighted by striking black timber detailing on the main gable and a charming belfry tower.
Measuring approximately 7" in height and 8.5" long, this substantial building provides a beautiful focal point for any historic village scene. Originally introduced as part of the Heritage Village Collection, this model was retired in 1996, making it a sought-after find for collectors of mid-90s Department 56 pieces. This church is in very good condition and comes with a functional light cord to immediately brighten your mantle or shelf display.
This item is vintage, over 30 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
