Our Savior’s Kvindherred Lutheran Church
Our Savior’s Kvindherred Lutheran Church, Lutheran church in Calamus, Iowa, US
The current church structure, built in 1876, features Greek Revival architecture with strong columns and balanced proportions along its exterior walls.
Norwegian immigrants from the Hardanger Fjord region established this congregation in 1861, naming it after their home district of Kvinnherad in Norway.
Services were conducted exclusively in Norwegian until 1919, when English was introduced due to social changes during World War I.
The property includes a church building, former school structures, and a cemetery spread across multiple acres of land in Clinton County.
The original church building from 1865 was physically relocated to its current position around 1940, preceding the construction of newer additions.
