#65: Historic Trinity Lutheran Church

While doing my north Soulard cake run, I stumbled across this church. Looks are deceiving; this place has more history than man can count.

• Founded in 1839 by Saxon immigrants, it is the oldest Lutheran congregation on the West of the Mississippi River.
• Its present location was built in 1864, having moved from their Lombard Street location (from 1842).
• Statues of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are present here, and several pieces of biblical memorabilia are on display
• Services are conducted in both English and German languages.
• Its elementary school is the oldest continually operating of its kind in St. Louis.
