Description
The historic Marienkirche sits next to the 'New' St Mary's Church in Fredericksburg, TX. St Mary's was organized by the area's German Catholic immigrants in 1846. The present 'new' sanctuary was constructed in 1908, replacing the smaller Marienkirche (1861). The interior, bathed in pale blue hues, is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
I love photographing places of worship, imagining the stories lived within and without the sanctuary, recording the structural and artistic testimony to lives lived in community. Make sure to include a visit to 'new' St. Mary's Church and the older Marienkirche.
