St. John the Baptist Catholic Church
Ammannsville

The present St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Ammannsville is the third structure in this community, and it was dedicated on December 22, 1919. Constructed in Gothic Revival style, it is listed in the "National Register of Historical Places".

The interior features stenciling, infill freehand, and marbling techniques. Early settlers said the paintings were done by a European drifter. The windows, depicting men Saints on the right, and women Saints on the left, are inscribed in Czech.

St. Mary's Catholic Church
High Hill

The present St. Mary's Catholic Church is the third to be built  at High Hill. It is listed in the "National Register of Historical Places". Construction the of the present church started in 1905 with 18 stained glass windows from the second church placed in the new church. 

The highest point of the spire is about 175 feet. The interior is a well crafted example of the Gothic Revival style. It displays not only late Victorian features, but European background of the German and Czech settlers. Although the main wall has been repainted, the ceiling, and a few other parts of the church have the original decorations.
