St. Michael's Church

St. James Parish - Great River Road in Convent, Louisiana

The columns and pews are handcarved cypress from trees growing on the land. All of the bricks were handmade on the site. The altar was brought to New Orleans by ship from Bavaria and barged to the site on the Mississippi River.
Built in the 1800's.

We certainly do not see this type of craftsmanship in this day and age...
Beautiful image, Coleen...
