I like IR effects with churches, but I think it goes to waste in this setting because of the lack of any meaningful foliage to show it off. Also, it appears you did not completely convert to B&W as the roof to the left of the steeplechase looks to be in color.

I like your take on this church - nicely done - you wanna know what bothers me about this church? (and it has absolutely nothing to do with the photo or your photography) it's that there is no window or door there on this left side. But that just adds to the mystery of your photo so the title is very approiate.
