St. Mary's Catholic Church

Fredericksburg br/Gillespie County, Texas br/30 16.618' N 98 52.618' W br/306 W. San Antonio Street. br/br/Text: Rapid membership growth during the late 19th century prompted St. Mary's Church to complete plans for a new sanctuary in 1901. The gothic-inspired native stone structure was designed by prominent San Antonio architect Leo M. Diehlmann and built by contractor Jacob Wagner in 1906. It features an asymmeterical front facade with a dominant corner tower and spire containing three bells transferred from the nearby 1863 sanctuary. Commerative stained glass windows were installed in 1906 and 1914-1917; altar windows portray Wagner's daughter and the son of an early parishoner.
