Westgarthtown, Heritage farming settlement in Thomastown and Lalor, Australia.
The preserved precinct contains bluestone buildings, including a Lutheran church, cemetery, and four historic farmhouses constructed between 1850 and 1873.
German and Wendish immigrants established Westgarthtown in March 1850 after a six-month journey from Hamburg on the ship Pribislaw.
The Lutheran church and school operated as central community facilities for over a century, maintaining German traditions and religious practices.
Ziebell's Farmhouse Museum and Heritage Garden opens every Tuesday and Sunday, offering guided tours of the Victorian-era German settlement.
The settlement features Victoria's oldest German immigrant building and the second oldest Lutheran church structure in Australia.
