Walking tour of Fredericksburg - Vereinskirche

The original Vereins Kirche was one of the first buildings in Fredericksburg, built in 1847. It served as a community hall, school house, church and, occasionally, a fort. Built in the middle of Main Street, the Vereins Kirche was used until 1897, when it was demolished.

In 1935, the citizens of Fredericksburg decided to reconstruct the building 300 feet from it's original location, in the center of Marktplatz. The new building was finished in time for the state Centennial celebration in 1936.

Today, the Vereins Kirche is in the care of the Gillespie County Historical Society and houses rotating history exhibits.
