Description du lieu patrimonial
Emmanuel Lutheran Church is a Municipal Heritage Property located on 0.177 hectares in the community of Frankslake, in the Rural Municipality of Edenwold No. 158. The property features a stucco-clad church constructed in 1942.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Emmanuel Lutheran Church site lies in its association with the Emmanuel Lutheran Church Congregation, which has been active in the Frankslake area for over 100 years. German settlers organized this congregation in the late 1890s, and by 1901 they had retained a pastor and built a church at another location nearby. The church was moved to the current site in Frankslake in 1937. In 1942 it was dismantled and rebuilt on a new basement. The church has served the Emmanuel congregation continuously since then.
Heritage value also resides in the architecture of Emmanuel Lutheran Church. The pointed window arches and central tower, into which the front entrance is set, show a Gothic Revival influence. Displaying an austere beauty typical of rural Lutheran churches, the tower is surmounted by a simple, four-sided steeple that is crowned with a metal cross. Inside, a recessed and raised chancel is flanked by a small vestry on one side, and in German Lutheran fashion, a small sacristy that provides access to the raised pulpit on the other. From its central position on the altar, a carved wood altarpiece that is painted glossy white with gold trim, provides an interior focal point. Extra seating is found in a small loft located at the back of the church.
