Berthold Imhoff

Born in Germany in 1868, Imhoff immigrated to the United States with his family and settled in Reading, Pennsylvania, where he established a successful art and fresco business.

Imhoff's fame soon escalated as he travelled the eastern United States painting churches and homes of wealthy industrialists.

Searching for a quiet, peaceful place to work on his art, Imhoff, Matilde, and six of his seven children moved to what is now St. Walburg, Saskatchewan, in 1914.

A life size equestrian statue[1] honouring Imhoff by St. Walburg artist Susan Velder[6] is located in the village.

[8] Examples of his work can be seen in churches at Carmel, St. Benedict, Bruno, Denzil, St. Leo, North Battleford in Saskatchewan[9] and at the following locations.
