About St. Nazianz

Tucked into the rolling farmland of Manitowoc County, St. Nazianz is a quiet village with a unique backstory. It was founded in 1854 by Father Ambrose Oschwald and a group of German immigrants who built a communal farming settlement in the Wisconsin woods. That distinctive heritage is still visible throughout town today, reflected in its historic buildings and peaceful, tight-knit atmosphere.
