Svenska Mission Kyrka I Sodre Maple Ridge
Svenska Mission Kyrka I Sodre Maple Ridge, Gothic Revival church in Maple Ridge Township, Minnesota, United States
Svenska Mission Kyrka is a Gothic Revival church made of wood with pointed arch windows and a central bell tower standing near Braham on County Road 1. The building retains its original wooden interior furnishings and stained glass windows from its construction period.
The church was built in 1897 by Swedish immigrants who sought to establish a spiritual center for their community. It gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as an important example of immigrant heritage in Minnesota.
This church served as a gathering place for Swedish-American settlers and remains a symbol of their religious faith and community bonds in the region.
The church is located in a rural setting and can be reached by vehicle via County Road 1 near Braham. The surrounding cemetery provides walking space and context for understanding the site's role in the local community.
This church sits on a small plot of land in an area where several other Swedish chapels have been preserved, forming a network of immigrant settlement history. The site offers a rare glimpse into how Scandinavian communities physically established themselves across rural Minnesota.
