Iglesia Virgen Niña, Catholic church in Villa Elisa, Argentina.
The Iglesia Virgen Niña is a church in Villa Elisa featuring German Neo-Gothic architecture with a distinctive tall tower. The building combines historical structural elements with modern interior design and serves the local community as a place for religious ceremonies and gatherings.
Construction began in 1890 when Héctor de Elía funded materials and labor for builder Pedro Sala to raise the structure. The original 1897 structure remains preserved at this site as a historical landmark, showing the roots of the community.
The interior walls display contemporary paintings with Christian themes, showing how local artists blend religious subject matter with modern artistic expression. These works shape the spiritual experience for visitors and worshippers who enter the space today.
The site is located near the historical museum El Porvenir and a local monument, both within walking distance in town. The place remains active for community use, so it is wise to check visiting times to avoid interrupting services or events.
The original chapel from 1897 still stands behind the current building and is protected as a historical landmark. This older structure offers glimpses into the early days of the place of worship and reflects the town's growth over more than a century.
