Indside St. Anthony of Padua. Festina, Iowa - Tiny Church - St. Anthony of Padua

Cute little church, which doesn't look as small on the outside as it does when you peek inside. Someone looks after it religiously (pun intended), as there are fresh flowers on the altar and the narthex is well-stocked with brochures and postcards. There is not a speck of dust to be seen, although the pews could benefit from a coat of paint. It was rather dark in the tiny sanctuary, but still had the feel of a real church.

Festina, Iowa - World's Smallest Church

The world's smallest church is no longer in active service, but is maintained by a local family and open year-round. It's about two miles West of Festina, a small burg south of Decorah. The church seats about 8 people (more if friendly).

Well kept grounds; interesting gravestones. [Dario Zaffarano, 08/31/2006]
