Church of St. Joseph - Catholic - Christ the King - Browerville, MN - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. With its unique “onion” towers, Christ the King Catholic Church, earlier known as St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, on Browerville’s main street is one of the most beautiful Catholic churches to be found anywhere! It was built by German and Polish immigrants of the area. The two nationalities had a dispute over money; leading to the German families building their own church, St. Peters’s Catholic Church, a few blocks east of the “Polish church”. As the numbers of parishioners dwindled, the two congregations once more joined together as Christ the King. St. Peter’s was demolished and its parochial school became what is presently known as the Thread Shed I.

The grounds of this church are scenic and tranquil, outdoor gardens, statuary, altars and more.

The church was also featured on the cover of a book, written by Browerville native Lavryle Spencer, titled "Then Came Heaven". Copy of the cover (from Amazon.com) is shown above.
