When I was talking to Crystal about our trip, she told me of the Painted Churches in Schulenburg so we added that to our trip. The windows in the churches were painted to look like stained glass. We toured two of the churches, St Mary's Catholic Church in High Hill built in 1868 and St. Mary's Parish in Praha built in 1895. Both churches were built/established by Austrian/Czeck-Moravian families. The stone used to build the church at Praha was brought by oxen from a nearby village and the ceiling was painted by a famous Swiss artist and has never been repainted. St. Mary's at High Hill has been placed in the National Registry of Historic Places. They are both very beautiful. The detail of the work is amazing.
