St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church (Hoven, South Dakota)

St. Anthony of Padua Church is a historic Catholic church in Hoven, South Dakota, within the Diocese of Sioux Falls. Nicknamed "the Cathedral of the Prairie" (though it has never technically been a cathedral), it is noted for its ornate Romanesque and Gothic Revival architecture, the cost and scale of which are unusual for a small rural town. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as St. Bernard's Catholic Church.
