Church of St. Kilian
Church of St. Kilian, Catholic church in Wilmont Township, Minnesota
The Church of St. Kilian stands three miles northwest of Wilmont, featuring Gothic and Late Victorian architectural elements in its design and construction.
The original structure burned down in 1897, leading to the construction of the current church building, which was completed in 1900.
German-Catholic farmers established this religious center in 1887 under Father C. J. Knauf, reflecting the settlement patterns of European immigrants.
The church property extends across 14.7 acres and maintains its status as an oratory since 2017, continuing to serve the local Catholic community.
Located atop Buffalo Ridge, this church marks the natural drainage divide between the Mississippi River and Missouri River systems.
