It is said that this beautiful church northeast of Austin is the most photographed church in Texas, and I’ve certainly been doing my part to keep it that way
Folks started settling in the area in 1873 and for the first few

Various members of my family started settling in the Austin Texas area in the 1870’s. Arriving from Sweden some of my family were founding members of the New Sweden Church congregation. My Great Great Grandfather, Corporal Gustaf Jonanson Ax and his wife Johanna, were the first to sign in the New Sweden Lutheran Church book. He served as church secretary 8 years, until he could serve no more. His son, John (Johan) Axell was one of the 1st trustees and served on the building committee for the New Sweden parsonage.
