The Langmeil Lutheran Church in Tanunda, South Australia, was built in 1888. The congregation dates back to 1830 at the beginning of German (Silesian) settlement in the colony. Since then the church has been subject to several schisms reflecting the intensity of its congregation. It now has 500 baptised parishioners and is one of 29 Lutheran churches in the Barossa Valley.
