St. Paul’s Lutheran Church ~ by Linda
February 25, 2023
This beautiful church is one of the painted churches of Texas. In September 1854 Pastor Johann Kilian and more than 500 Wendish immigrants left Hamburg, Germany to sail for Texas. The Wendish people have their own culture and language. The church they built in 1870 is in Serbin, Texas and it reflects their culture and heritage. Serbin is approximately 7 miles from Giddings, Texas. The church is two story and boasts the tallest pulpit in Texas as it is placed on the upper level of the church. It was the tradition until about the time of World War II that the men and women sat apart from each other in the church services. It has one of the most beautiful organs I’ve seen. I will post an image of it in a few days.
