St. Mary's Church of the Assumption, Gothic Revival church in Praha, Texas.

St. Mary's Church of the Assumption features a rectangular plan with a five-bay nave, side aisles, and a polygonal apse in its architectural layout.

Built in 1895 by architect O. Kramer, the church received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 for its architectural significance.

Swiss-born artist Gottfried Flury created the interior decorations using stenciling, infill painting, and freehand design techniques that simulate stone vaults.

The church maintains regular religious services and offers guided tours for visitors interested in exploring the architectural features and painted interior.

The interior walls display elaborate painted decorations that create optical illusions of Gothic tracery, representing the artistic traditions of 19th-century Texas immigrants.
