Description: Coeur d'Alene Mission of the Sacred Heart on Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho, United States, about 1855. Gustavus Sohon, artist. Located where the Coeur d'Alene River enters into Lake Coeur d'Alene, the mission was established in 1843 by the Roman Catholic Church as a Christian missionary outpost. The church was built in 1858, and designed by Father Antonio Ravalli. No nails or metal pieces were used in its construction. The mission later relocated near the modern town of De Smet, Idaho, at which time this location became known as "Cataldo Mission" or "Old Mission". The structure and outbuildings were added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. The structure and outbuildings were made a U.S. National Historic Landmark on July 4, 1961.
