One of the historic 15 Painted Churches of Texas, which were built by the German and Czech settlers.

It is believed to be one of the oldest and largest solid wood structures of its type in Texas.
This church, in Gothic Style, was designed by architect Leo Dielman of San Antonio and was built by Jan Bujnoch of Wallis
with the help of parishioners who volunteered their carpenter skills.
The leaded, stained glass windows were created in Italy. There are three brass bells in the tower which are gracefully named.
The land, stained glass windows, altars, bells, and statues were all donated by the parishioners in memory of their loved ones.

Guardian Angel Catholic Church is listed on the national Register of Historic Places
