They're very peaceful.

Probably because there's no one in them. Apart from a Vicar, quietly weeping in one corner.
I also like (old) churches. Not quite so hot on the services, mind. But I love gothic architecture.

Some of those are brilliant!
I think I've figured out that I quite like nice churches, I just don't like the religious people inside them.
They are a bit scary.
But I like a nice peaceful walk around a graveyard and stuff.
