Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Lutheran church in Menno, United States.
Our Savior's Lutheran Church is a church building in Menno featuring Late Gothic Revival architecture constructed with local split field rock. The structure displays a traditional bell tower and serves as a religious center for the community.
Norwegian settlers established the original congregation in the 1870s, which led to the construction of two separate church buildings. These two merged in the 1930s, resulting in the current structure that stands today.
The church reflects the Lutheran traditions of Norwegian immigrants who established communities in South Dakota during the 1800s. These settlers shaped the religious and social identity of the region for generations.
The building is located at 29219 431st Avenue and remains open to visitors throughout the week. Regular worship services take place, and the community is usually present to answer questions about the church.
The design comes from architect Thorwold Thorson in 1935 and reflects the local craftsmanship of that era. The building earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001, highlighting its architectural importance.
