Marysburg Assumption Church is a Roman Catholic church in the hamlet of Marysburg within the Rural Municipality of Humbold in Saskatchewan, Canada. The church is a designated municipal heritage building. The brick building contains two towers and is of a Romanesque Revival style while the interior exhibits a Classical Revival influence.[1]
The church can hold nearly 400 people and makes extensive use of stain glass.[2] The interior is decorated with works by the artist Berthold Imhoff.[3] Thirty two Imhoff paintings were purchased in 1948.[4] Efforts to maintain as well as restore the historic church are ongoing.[4]
