St. Severin's Old Log Church

The church stands as a wooden structure measuring forty-five feet in length and twenty-four feet in width, with a gable roof and steeple.

German settlers constructed this religious building around 1851, and it remained an active place of worship until approximately 1880.

This Catholic building represents the religious heritage of German immigrants who established their community in Pennsylvania during the nineteenth century.

The church sits west of Cooper Settlement off PA Route 53, providing access to visitors interested in examining historical religious architecture.

The wooden building combines traditional German construction methods with local materials, resting upon a foundation made entirely of rock.
