An old catholic church, school, and priest house located in rural Wisconsin.
The church was built in 1915, with the school/house being added in 1931.
Closed in 2005 when perishes merged.






School building. (locked up, looking like its used as storage)








Stairs leading to the bell tower.


Cafeteria.




Boiler room.




House hallway.


Obligatory bathroom shot.




A few towns over lies another closed catholic parish.
This one being built in the 1800's, also closed in 2005.
Locked up and used as storage.

*update* - Upon further investigating of the basement of the house - I discovered a tiny tunnel connecting the house basement to the school basement. This would be the only way into the school.

Going back in a few days to investigate further!

Sweet find! There's something about the empty altar that is really eerie. The symbols on the wall in the fourth pic don't look like graffiti, do you think those were there while the church was still functioning? I'm also curious as to whether the bell tower is accessible or not.

Looking forward to more pics.
