    Some of the painted walls remind me of the churches we visited in Germany. So beautiful!

      That would make sense because Ammannsville, TX is close to Schulenberg, TX. Probably settled by Germans or Czech people. It is indeed beautiful.

      You are both right. The churches were settled by Czech immigrants. Many of the items inside the churches are from other parts of Europe.

    What a beautiful church! The name of the town is so close to my mother's maiden name I wonder if there's a connection. I'll have to do some research!

      The town was named after a Mr. Ammanns. I wonder if there is a connection.

    It is, isn't it? The towns in which they are located are and have always been very small.

      I had heard they were beautiful but I had no idea what they were really like until I visited them.
