DESCRIPTION |
Details (Known As) |
St John's Lutheran Church & Museum (former 1845 College and Seminary) |
Registered Name |
Lutheran Church and Museum (former Seminary) |
Significance |
St John's Church was dedicated in September 1845 and remains as one of the oldest Lutheran churches in South Australia. The church and the nearby former College and Seminary, are associated with one of the earliest German settlements in the State, with the history and development of the Lutheran church in South Australia, and with the efforts of the pioneering Pastors August Kavel and Gotthard Fritzsche.
The Lutheran College and Seminary, a one room pug building, was constructed in 1845. It was used by Pastor Fritzsche to train students for the ministry and was the first such seminary in the Southern Hemisphere. It now stands within a modern building, the Lobethal Archives and Historical Museum of 1962, and is an interesting and early example of a building being preserved by having another built around it.

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.
