In Rooks County, approximately 200 miles southwest of St. Benedict:

Enchanting church!!!!!!!
Awesome churches :)
Would love to visit some of them if not all someday ;)
Happy WW!
Yes it is amazing they are in the middle of nowhere - just shows - beauty can appear from nothing and anywhere.
It always surprises me how you can come across churches in the middle of nowhere superficially far from habitation of any kind! I've seen them in Romania, Hungary & the former Yugoslavia etc - not to mention the UK!
Have a great Wednesday!

I was surprised as you! These are every bit as gorgeous as some I saw in the UK!
They just look amazing!

These are really beautiful sites. I can imagine them staying sacred with nobody living nearby. How incredibly peaceful they must be to visit.

Hi JamaGenie!
I saw you in the theatre with Audrey's black dress, but you know her, she is so gentle I am sure she wouldn't mind! Thanks for coming and visiting with me! Please come back on Saturday or later for act 3! Your photos are so beautiful. I love archetecture (spelling!) especially churches! I visited many in France and never, ever tired of seeing them. Have a great week! Anita
I grew up within an hour's drive of Damar and occasionally stopped to admire the oddity of these prairie churches competing with the grain elevators for the horizon. But I had never gone in. Thanks for the views.
Wow, these are some of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen. I went to the sites and read their histories too. It was fascinating to read that the parishioners helped with some of the construction on the churches; not to mention all the donations of time, items and money. Thanks for a great post!
Another equaly beautiful church in Kansas is St. Fidelis Church in Victoria, Kansas. It's known as the "Cathedral of the Plains" and can be found at this web site: http://www.kansastravel.org/cathedralofheplains.htm
I really enjoyed your post. Thanks for taking time to share these with us.
Darling, these are amazing. Thank you darling for hunting and posting these gorgeous sites for us, otherwise, we would have never known. You are the best.
Have a wonderful week darling
Love & Hugs
