A colorful Texas tradition: Travelogue through Schulenburg's painted churches
- When immigrants from Moravia found passage into Galveston, the Ellis Island of the South, many headed for the Texas Hill Country bringing a piece of their homeland with them. They may not have had the cash or the access to materials to recreate their houses of worship, but they were ingenious enough to fashion another solution — with paint.
Joel Luks, hosted by the Greater Schulenburg Chamber of Commerce and the Architecture Center of Houston, explores four of these charming buildings and the stories behind them with local expert Patricia Balcar.
The Painted Churches of Texas
We check out a few of the Painted Churches in the Fayette County area on our day trip to Schulenburg.
Painted Churches of Texas
This collection of churches proudly display their German and Czech heritage that surround the town of Schulenburg, Texas in the tiny communities of Shiner, Ammansville, Dubina, High Hill and Praha.
These churches interiors offer an overwhelming feast for the eyes with stained glass windows and statues too numerous to count with multi-spired altars and ornate stenciled artwork that covers seemingly every inch of the structures.

A Tiny Texas Town Takes a Chance on Medical Marijuana.
Schulenburg, with fewer than 3,000 residents and a polka museum, medical marijuana documentary medical marijuana parkinson's medical marijuana florida seizures medical marijuana benefits medical marijuana stocks medical marijuana inc.seems an unlikely place for some of the state’s first legal sales of the drug.
Last September, a farm near Schulenburg, Texas, a quiet, conservative town of fewer than 3,000 people, became a medical-marijuana dispensary. Knox Medical, based in Florida, owns the farm and is one of the three newly licensed cannabis outfits in Texas to start selling cannabidiol, or CBD, a substance derived from low-THC marijuana. When deliveries start going out to patients this month, Schulenburg, home to distinctively painted churches and the Texas Polka Music Museum, will become one of the first legal outposts for medical marijuana in Texas.
