Visit the Painted Churches of Fayette County
The physical manifestation of the beauty and reverence of long ago German, Czech and Wend settlers is as impressive today as in 1800s, when the small farming communities of High Hill, Praha, Ammannsville, Dubina and Freyburg commissioned artists to paint their simple wooden churches.
These artists, remembering the grand and gothic cathedrals of Europe, created a lasting monument to the glory of God, the Painted Churches of Fayette County.
For map and self-guided directions, please visit the Journeys page on USAer.com.
The Painted Churches are located within 15 miles of Schulenburg, Texas, and you may either find them on your own or take a guided tour. These churches stand in stark contrast to Spanish mission style of church found elsewhere in Texas.
The Schulenburg Chamber of Commerce will help you arrange for a tour of the Painted Churches of Fayette County. You may also call toll free (866) 504-5294 for information.
