Parroquia San Rafael Arcángel, Catholic Church in San Rafael del Norte, Nicaragua.
The white stone church stands at the center of San Rafael del Norte with its tall bell tower and traditional architectural elements.
Local residents constructed the first adobe hermitage in 1862, which later expanded into the current structure through community contributions and effort.
The church maintains regular mass schedules and religious celebrations that bring together the residents of San Rafael del Norte throughout the year.
The parish offers religious services from Tuesday to Friday between 10:00 and 14:00 hours, with additional evening sessions from 17:00 to 21:00 hours.
The stained glass windows, imported from Austria in 1893, were transported by oxen through the mountainous terrain of Nicaragua.
