Christ Episcopal Church (Red Wing, Minnesota)

The parish of Christ Episcopal Church in Red Wing, Minnesota, United States, was founded in 1858.

A wooden building was erected that served the early parish well, but by 1868 it was felt that the growth of the parish made the building of a larger church a necessity.

In the autumn of that year work began on the new building, constructed in Gothic Revival style following plans furnished by New York architect Henry C.

[1] The cornerstone was laid June 24, 1869 and the new church was consecrated by Bishop Henry Benjamin Whipple on December 19, 1871.

)[4] The church is now a contributing property to the Red Wing Mall Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
