Love this history and the architectural melting pot that is Texas. #texashistoricalcommission #williamsbuildingpalacios Omega Productions Texas Historical CommissionMany predominantly Czech and German communities transplanted versions of their former hometowns to the new world, most notably in what are known today as the Painted Churches.

Dedicated in 1895, St. Mary's is one of the famous Painted Churches of Texas and is visited by thousands each year. A granite monument to Praha's Nine rests in the churchyard, memorializing the nine Praha men who died on World War II battlefields.

Given Praha's diminutive population, the loss of the nine men ranks Praha's per captia World War II losses higher than almost any other city in America. A ceremony is held on Memorial Day annually at St. Mary's.

In 1983, 15 Painted Churches statewide were listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This rare art form is manifested in some of the state’s highest expressions of design, architecture, and worship through such methods as freehand work, stenciling, infill, graining, and marbling.

Danish Heritage Preservation Society

About the Society
In 1993, the Society first emerged in the town of Danevang in Southeast Texas. Many of the town's residents can trace their lineage back to the Danish people that settled Texas, and today is considered to be the 'Danish Capital of Texas'.

Through fundraising and years of planning, the Society constructed the Danish Heritage Museum, which houses artifacts and exhibits related to the pioneer settlers of Danevang.
