Norwegians who settled in Northwest Territories took the initiative to construct the Trinity Lutheran Church in Calgary. They were predominantly workers at the Bow River Lumber Company. Before the construction of the basement structure, services were held by ministers in private homes. It was only in 1924 that the building was completed and dedicated.

Services were conducted in English from 1937. In 1941, the church was ordained with a new anglicized name Trinity Lutheran. It was changed to the present Historic Trinity Lutheran in 1996. This church holds the distinction of being one of the last buildings remaining in Eau Claire District in its original form. Enjoy a visit to this beautiful, charming church on your trip to Calgary.
