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

It is in English, French, and in Hungarian

This plaque is at the front entrance of the Lady of assumption Church. It is a good read

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 

This is the Bell Tower, It is on the North West Corner of the Church. It is a massive structure (meaning the look of it not so much the size) that is well proportioned in Hight and Width. The tower holds three bells. I actually was allowed to ring the bells last October when I was there to visit the place.

This is of course the Altar at the Church of Our Lady of Assumption. It is a rather lovely alter with the decoration on the side panels, and the relief picture of the Last Super.

The name of this lovely Field tone Church in Kaposvar is ,Our Lady of Assumption,. This is the East facing side of the lovely church 

The Church and the rectory stand proud, the out buildings are of course modern structures. I have no idea what they are used for. I do suspect storage and other possibly a Garage as well.

This is the large Statue of the Virgin Mary, or St, Mary if you wish at the Grotto. It is a lovely and peaceful Monument.

This is such a nice addition to the grounds. The 14 Stations of the cross where added in the 1980s. They start at the front of the church and go around the Property. This particular one is next to the Grotto. This is Station XIV

The church stands very nice on the hill 3 miles south of Esterhazy. It really does sit up there like a crown.

This is the Grotto at the Church in Kaposvar. It was constructed by all the kids in the area at that time. My father had no hand in it as he was way to young. It was constructed in 1934

 The interior of the Church from the balcony

 The Alter and its surrounding. It is truly a lovely place

Here is one of the side panels at the front of the Church

The church was finished in 1907 and then dedicated in 1908. If memory serves the church was started in 1904

 St. Mary as Queen of the World with her son Jesus

 This I am almost certain this is St. Joseph with Jesus.

 St. Mary

 I am not sure of this one. However being a Hungarian based Churched I am thinking it would be St. King Steven. Bur this is a guess

 this one is clearly a Shepard. However I am not sure.

 The Archangel Michael slaying Satin represented as a dragon

 No idea of this one

I have no idea or a guess for this statue

There are several lovely statues in this church. A few dozen of them at least. most of them are around 1.3 meters high or there about. When I was a kid I was scared of the Archangel Gabriel  slaying the Dragon. I am not sure but I am thinking they are made from Plaster of Paris which was rather normal back around 1900. Every one of them is in lovely condition 120 years on. If any one knows who the saints are please let me know.
