Hazards

St. Anthony’s Catholic Church is a vacant building, so anyone is free to go check it out. The only hazards are animals (mostly birds) and floors (there is a second floor balcony that doesn’t seem very stable.)

History

Saint Anthony’s Catholic Church began being built in 1912. In 1916, construction of the church was finished and the church soon opened. Membership of the church was strong until the early 1920s, when economic struggles and droughts occurred. Some families moved back to the region in the 1940s, after WWII. The amount of memberships was steady until the 1970s. In the 1980s, there were only 21 parishioner families. The last time the church was used for worship was 1986. In present, most things, such as the organ or the iron cross on the steeple have been stolen, and all that remains is the church itself and a little cemetery behind the church.

About this location

This quaint little church is home to a cemetery in the back with the churchbell and a guestbook. As said above, the church is vacant, which makes neighbours a non-existent issue. This is a pretty low-risk location .

Very sad to hear this, it looked like there was squatters when I visited another time so maybe that's why
