Saint Nicholas near Kennell



One of Saskatchewan's most photographed historic churches.  Saint Nicholas sits on the south slope of the picturesque Qu'Appelle Valley.


The church was built in 1900 but due to many parishioners moving away from the area it way dismantled and reconstructed about six miles southwest of its original location in 1910-11.


The cemetery is on the upward slope of the church grounds.


Three ascending rooftop crosses from back to front.


Although built as an Anglican church, it now serves and welcomes a much more diverse community.  Nice place to be baptized, married or laid to rest.
