Summary
Visiting the painted churches is the closest you’ll get within the United States to touring the sanctuaries of Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic. These living relics of the 19th and early 20th centuries, dot the central Hill Country. Modeled after the ancient gothic cathedrals of Europe, they were built and adorned by immigrants who wanted to transport a bit of their old life to the New World. You can book a guided tour through the Schulenburg or If you have a small group of no more than 6 people, you may visit the churches on your own. The churches are normally available from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm, Mondays thru Saturdays, with some exceptions. St. Mary’s Church at Praha asks that visitors be out of the church by 3:00 on Saturdays. It’s a good idea to call the Chamber ahead of your visit to be sure the churches are available
