St. Elizabeth Parish Church

The original building of the St. Elizabeth Parish Church, St. John the Evangelist, was built around 1700, but the date of construction of the replacement building is uncertain. An inscription indicates that the tower foundation was laid in 1837 but it is thought that the main body was built earlier, possibly around 1774.

The Church is constructed of yellow brick with limestone trim, and its configuration is reminiscent of the medieval English Parish Church. This structure, however, mixes the Gothic and classical elements in its design. The tower has quoins and is crowned with battlements and corner pinnacles.
