Road Trip Day One - Pella


Day One of a week long road trip in Saskatchewan.  This is the long abandoned Pella Mennonite Church near Neville, Saskatchewan.


Lots of windows but why there are two windows above the porch is a mystery as there is no second story or balcony.


A look inside.


I stopped here a couple of years ago but didn't go inside.  This time I stepped in and saw the remains of what must have been quite a lovely stamped tin ceiling. 


There is a tiny cemetery a few hundred feet up the slope with only two headstones.


The church sits hidden from view in a small valley.  Nice location.  Nice view.

  1. Seeing those two 'extra' windows almost makes me wonder if it wasn't meant to be a house and then got changed to a church in mid-build. Either way, it's a pretty location.

    1. This is in a part of Saskatchewan that everyone thinks is "flat." Lots of little hidden coulees and valleys.
