DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Zion Lutheran Church (former Union Church)
Registered Name Zion Lutheran Church (former Union Church)
Significance The Union Church in Angaston was built to accommodate the expanding congregation of the Union Chapel at Penrice (1844), which was built largely through the efforts of the Angas family, who were prominent in the foundation and settlement of the colony. Union Chapels were an interesting feature of early South Australia, being open to all denominations, and typically serving both Independents (Congregationalists), Baptists and other dissenting religions. In 1861 the congregation divided over the issue of baptism by immersion and the Independents formed a new church and built their own chapel (now demolished). This substantial building therefore stands as a memorial to the support given to Union Chapels and as a reminder of the propensity for splits to occur over doctrinal issues (HSA Assessment Report, 1998).

Disclaimer

While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.

In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
