A general view of the Historic site at Kaposvar, Saskatchewan.

This is the rectory, It was constructed in around 1901. At the time it was built it was the largest house in the entire region. It had ten rooms and was the only building at the time constructed of stone. It is said that Father Woodcutter gathered almost all the stone him self for the structure. For years because of its size it was referred to as the Mansion.

 These are new but they matched what was the original. The originals had been destroyed years ago from a storm and from what I understand some vandalism. 

 My Father donated the cost of this Bay of Windows

My Father donated funds to replace one Bay of three old windows that where here and replace it with this set that matched the original. Four families did this, as well as the Ambassador from Hungary donated funds for the other four sets. My dad in his generousity added the family but it really was all him and his lovely wife Joy

Of course not all Immigrants to the area where of Hungarian decent. Many came in from around the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Some even came from Germany and Sweden, and of course from around Europe. This Plaque is at the Kaposvar Church

 A front view of the lovely field stone church. Our Lady of Assumption. Also a nice view of the rectory. I personally have never been inside the rectory. I hope to one day hopefully this year if I get to Saskatchewan

I love how all that field stone dominates the exterior of this lovely old Girl

This is the gate from the parking lot entering the grounds to the site. It is being vey well taken care of in the last several years. One area of huge improvement is the Cemetery which is just to the right of this sign. The people doing all the work deserve a huge applause
