Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church
Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Clear Creek Township, Iowa
The Victorian Gothic church features orange brick construction with a central entrance tower rising to 150 feet, making it the highest structure in Keokuk County.
German immigrants established the parish in 1860, constructing their first brick church in 1863 before building the current structure, which was dedicated in 1899.
The church interior contains period stained glass windows contributed by parish families and altar woodwork crafted by Nickolas Juhl using walnut materials.
The Clear Creek Heritage Association acquired the church building in 2009 after its closure, following the final regular Mass celebration on June 25, 2006.
A decorative fence surrounds the cemetery, installed in 1919 to commemorate parish servicemen's safety in World War I and survival through the 1918 flu pandemic.
