St. Joseph's Catholic Church

The red brick church features two identical steeples that transition from square to octagonal shapes, rising above neighboring buildings at 235 Van Buren Street.

Constructed in 1901 by architect Staudaher, the church served the Volga Germans, ethnic Germans from Russia who settled in the Topeka area.

The church maintains its religious heritage through regular masses, community gatherings, and traditional celebrations that connect current generations with their ancestors.

St. Joseph's Catholic Church offers multiple weekend services, daily masses throughout the week, and electronic contribution options for the convenience of parishioners.

The building exemplifies Romanesque Revival architecture with its detailed brickwork, dual steeples, and clock level features that demonstrate precise craftsmanship.
