The
Church of the Immaculate Conception, in Castle Grove, is situated in the
northern part of the township, and was erected by the Roman Catholics in
the year 1877, at a cost of about $20,000. Mr. John Kenan was the
architect and Mr. M. Doyle, of Anamosa, the contractor. The edifice is a
remarkably fine one and does honor to the members of the Church in
Castle Grove. It is, without doubt, the finest church edifice in the
State outside the largest cities.
