Scattered across Central Texas, between San Antonio and Houston, lie a group of churches known for their richly decorated interiors, vibrant murals, and elaborate stenciling. These churches were built by 19th-century Czech and German immigrants who made Texas their home. In a few of these communities, the church is all that is left, as the surrounding community either got swept away by a hurricane or fire. Despite these adversities, the painted churches stand as a testament to their founders' faith, artistry, and resilience. Each church tells a unique story of its community, reflecting the cultural heritage and devotion of the immigrants who built them.
