This breathtakingly beautiful country church sits on a promontory just one-half mile south of the Canadian border. The proportions of the three-stage bell tower, flared spire and finial, and Gothic-arched windows set in buttressed fieldstone exterior walls recall the standard of craft seen in the state’s early Swedish buildings.
