Iglesia de San Carlos

En estas fotos vemos algunos detalles constructivos de los jesuitas, las columnas rectangulares de árboles de madera muy dura como la luma o el ulmo, era luego recubiertas con tablillas de madera de alerce; esta otra es el envigado del piso y cimientos colocados sobre grandes piedras, No hay clavos, sólo tarugos de madera, y la unión perfecta entre vigas ha sido cortada con hacha y serrucho.
La Ruta De Las Iglesias De La Isla Grande De Chiloé.

These photos of the reconstruction efforts display details of earlier construction: original columns built of hard woods, covered with larch splints. There are no metal nails, but wooden pegs precisely joining the beams cut with axe and saw.
