| 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.
