Historic Sites of Manitoba: Grace Lutheran Church (408 Main Street, Langruth, Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone)

The Herdubried Lutheran Congregation was formed in 1906 and for many years was served by itinerant ministers from other communities. A mix of paid and volunteer workers erected this church at Langruth, in what is now the Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone, while locals contributed fittings, including an elegant platform enclosure built by master cabinetmaker Carl Lindal. It was expanded and renamed in the 1960s. The building is a municipally-designated historic site (1994).
