It was built in 1895 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Gottfried Flury, a Swiss-born artist from Moulton, TX, painted much of the interior. Using a combination of stenciling, infill painting, and freehand techniques, Flury's trompe-l'œil designs mimic stone vaults and Gothic tracery reminiscent of central European models. The ornate polychrome interior of St. Mary's Church of the Assumption is typical of the so-called "Painted Churches of Texas" constructed by immigrants who settled in the region in the nineteenth century.

Quaint looking from the outside but outstanding inside. The existing church was built in 1895, the third at the site. Part of it's history includes memorials for the loss of 9 young men from the very small community to WWII, the second highest percentage loss in the nation. The interior painting and craftsmanship are amazing. A visit is well worth the time.

Absolutely beautiful! Historic and charming, we loved the three chapels dedicated to nine boys of this small Czech community.
