North Prairie Scandinavian Lutheran Church and Cemetery is near Hinchcliffe, Saskatchewan.
The steeple is very elaborate in design with multi faceted angles and arches. There are pinnacles on each corner of the bell tower and also on each gable peak for a total of twelve (which is four more than I've ever seen before on a Lutheran church).
The cemetery is a collection of souls from the past hundred years plus.
I love the tall narrow obelisk headstone on the right.
The interior of the church appears to be mostly original and in great condition.
Standing in front of the altar and looking down the centre aisle.
An annex on the north side of the church.
Many pointed-arch windows allow the sunshine in.
A closer look at the gothically designed kneeling altar.
The church is a designated Municipal Heritage Property. It was built in 1918 and is the oldest public building in the surrounding area.

Beautiful old church. I have marked a couple of Ukrainian churches in that area.
ReplyDeleteThe church is in beautiful condition. I spent a week in the area late this past winter and found no lack of things to see the whole time.
