Oldenburg, Indiana is know as the “Village or Spires” due to the many steeples that dot the town’s skyline. The town was founded by German Catholics, and that Faith is still predominate in Oldenburg. This flower box and Statue of Mary is outside the Post Office building.

Ned it’s special that you have shared the experience with us. Sher’s family arrived in Oldenburg from Alsace late 1870’s.

That’s a beautiful statue of Mary. How is it the naysayers have allowed her to stay on a post office?

In Catholic Oldenburg I can’t see any real complaints. Also I am not sure if Mary is actually part of the building itself, or a sidewalk placement. Thansk for sharing.
