Danevang Lutheran Church and Cemetery

Photograph of the Danevang Lutheran Church and Community Hall. There is a cemetery in the foreground. It appears as if there's been a recent burial in the leftmost side of the picture, judging by the mound of dirt behind one of the tombstones. The church has been built on a central axis with light-colored siding and a gray roof. A large bell tower rises over the entrance, tapering into a point at the top. The silhouette of the bell is seen just underneath the shingled roof of the steeple. A paved walkway leads to the community hall on the rightmost side of the picture. The community center has been built with similar exterior building materials as the church.
