Kieler, WI

The village was established in 1855 by German Catholics who built a small wood frame church in 1859, and then the stone church in 1869. Kieler's stone church occupies a prominent site, reflecting its important role in community life. An 1896 remodeling added Gothic Revival detailing the main entrance an two stone towers to the front. John Kieler, for whom the village was named, worked as a stone mason and contractor before emigrating from Prussia.
