A wonderful building, and not much changed since this picture was taken, in 1904. There's something different about the top of the spire, but that's all I can spot.
Judging by the window in the apse, I'm definately going to have to take a good look at the back of the building.
The "Pfarrhaus". That's German for Parish House.
The school. This was very impressive.These pictures are from a book published for the 50th anniversary of the parish, in 1904.
Thanks to Kevin Hammer for scanning them.

I'm just seeing this for the first time. Wow ... so that's the original altar. Ornate it DOESN'T appear to be! The one they have now, built in the 50's, is more ornate. And the original windows are gone, replaced by those fabulous windows imported from Germany in 1919. The same ceiling woodwork. But -- look at those paintings on the ceiling! At some point, they were painted over! That'll be my next question for them, the next time I'm in there ...
And ... doesn't that look like a canopy up on the wall, over the pulpit??
I hadn't realized you'd not seen this post. It's definitely been improved.
