St. Urban is a small, unincorporated area about 30 miles north of us. There's not much there now, but it was a much more active place in the late 1890s when this church was built. As the area's population declined, the church was deconsecrated and fell into disrepair. In the early 2000s, nearby residents got together and rebuilt it. Today, St. Urban's is owned by Lewis County and is available for weddings and other events. The pump organ still works! And yes, that is a fairly large cemetery behind the church.

It looks very beautiful
Una gran iniciativa por parte de los vecinos de la zona. La iglesia en su fachada es una preciosidad y parece muy cuidada. Me gusta la luz de la fotografía
This church is boutique and well maintained!
It looks as if they did an excellent job restoring it. I would love to walk in that cemetery.
How wonderful that it has been restored. I love the light you have captured.
Beautiful church ❤️
Wonderful photo!
Parece una iglesia sencilla pero agradable, y el entorno una preciosidad.

Beautiful church. Love the sky and trees too :-D
Muy buena iniciativa de darle una nueva utilidad a la vieja iglesia.
Un abrazo.
Estas iglesias de madera no se suele ver por mi tierra. Espero que se conserve mucho tiempo.
Que tengas una feliz semana.
