Holden Lutheran Church Parsonage is a historic church parsonage in Wanamingo Township, Minnesota, United States. It was built c. 1861 and was added to the National Register in 1980. It was the residence of Reverend Bernt Julius Muus, a regional founder of the Norwegian Lutheran Church, until shortly before his death in 1900. In 1869 Muus founded the Holden Academy in the parsonage, but its distance from a rail line compelled him to relocate and rename the school in 1874, becoming St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota.[2]
