Guardian Angels Church, Gothic Revival church in Chaska, Minnesota
Guardian Angels Church features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a 162-foot steeple designed by architect John Geiser in 1885.
The first church structure, built between 1858 and 1860, started as a small brick building serving German immigrant communities in Minnesota.
The name originates from a young girl who selected the image of a Guardian Angel among pictures of saints during the church founding.
The church belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, providing regular religious services to local parishioners.
A devastating fire in 1902 destroyed the interior and collapsed the steeple, leading to complete reconstruction within one year.
