This is pretty common for churches. A lot are built on older sacred places which makes it hard to study early cultures. It’s always exciting when we can get at those things as a lot of the cases the churches have high heritage values themselves. :)

In this case, built on an older sacred place to erase the original sacred place from existence. Except a few hundred years later, they failed.
