Considerable Significance

DESCRIPTION: Very important to the heritage of the locality. High degree of integrity/ authenticity. DESIRED OUTCOME: Conservation of the place is highly desirable. Any alterations or extensions should reinforce the significance of the place.

Statement of Significance

St Mary's Church has aesthetic and historic significance. Built in 1928, it is of significance to Denmark's Catholic community as a place of spiritual guidance, contemplation and thanksgiving.

Physical Description

St Mary's is located in a prominent corner position overlooking a valley. It is a timber and fibro church with a corrugated iron roof. The gabled roof is emulated on the small porch at the front - noting the porch was an addition to the building (date of porch construction unknown). The simple timber building with frosted glass windows is Gothic in style. At the rear of the Church is an extension with a stained glass window. Landscaping is simple but well manicured and maintained. Next door is the Manse, constructed in timber and metal deck with a tiled roof and painted to complement the Church.
