Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Roman Catholic church in Plattenville, Louisiana, United States.
The Church of the Assumption features Gothic architecture with a central square tower, pitched roof-basilican plan, and brick exterior walls.
Built in 1856 for $13,500 by architect Wilson Grisamore, the church replaced earlier structures dating back to 1793 when the parish was established.
The church design reflects the influence of Canary Islander and Acadian settlers who established the community in this Louisiana region from 1779.
Located at the end of Bridge Street off Louisiana Highway 308, the church property extends across 6.4 acres of land.
The church maintains its original architectural elements, while its model, St. Joseph's Church in Thibodaux, burned down in 1916.
