St. Louis Catholic Church
Founded in 1844, just days after the establishment of Castroville, St. Louis Catholic Church is deeply rooted in the town's Alsatian heritage. The current structure, completed in 1870, is the third church built for the parish and features a prominent spire visible throughout the area. It serves as a testament to the early settlers who brought their distinctive culture and strong faith to Medina County.
