St. Mary's Church of the Assumption is a historic church on FM 1295 in Praha, Texas.










It was built in 1895 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[2]Gottfried Flury, a Swiss-born artist from Moulton, TX, painted much of the interior.[3]Using a combination of stenciling, infill painting, and freehand techniques, Flury's trompe-l'œil designs mimic stone vaults and Gothic tracery reminiscent of central European models.[4] The ornate polychrome interior of St. Mary's Church of the Assumption is typical of the so-called "Painted Churches of Texas" constructed by immigrants who settled in the region in the nineteenth century.
