Project Description: Carpatho-Rusyn immigrants built St. Peter and St. Paul Russian Orthodox church between 1915 and 1918 in the village of Bramble MN. The church was seemingly never consecrated and never supported a priest. Instead the priest from Chisholm MN traveled monthly to perform services there. Given the difficulty of farming in Minnesotas cutover region the Great Depression sealed the fate of the village and the church. It closed its doors in 1932. Now more than 90 years later the church still stands in good repair despite having no congregation since its closure and no other use. What explains this churchs longevity despite the lack of congregational support The story of the St. Peter and St. Paul church up to 1932 is not unique but its survival as a congregationless church is.
