Why does it have two entrances?

I don't know the answer for this specific church but I do know in some churches the women sat on one side and the men another and they had two entrances for that reason. Come to think of it, we sat like that in the protestant church I went to in India.

The second shot is quite unlike churches I'm used to.

The top photo looks like a mausoleum.
