In 1867 local Germans and Danes formed a Lutheran congregation, constructing a church building.

[3] The Germans built this new church building in 1910, with J.P. Peterson and Bernard Nienow as general contractors and the members donating labor.

The foundation is fieldstone, with cream brick walls sitting on that, sheltered under a gable roof.

The front square tower has a shingled spire topped with a cross.

The NRHP nomination deems the building architecturally significant "as a good local example of the Gothic Revival style", but it is a rather squat Gothic Revival, with only a hint of a point on the arches.
