Former King Juan Carlos of Spain was the surprise guest of honor at the opening of the former St. John the Baptist Church in Meath, Ireland, in July 2017.
The crowd in attendance let out gasps as he was introduced by Allen and Lorena Krause, who were responsible for the restoration. Local reports said that the church will be used as an art space and community centre.
There was a Kickstarter page to fund the restoration of the building here. Credit: marian branntighe via Storyful
