Zoar Moravian Church (The Zoar Church) is a historic church in Laketown Township, Minnesota, United States, near the city of Waconia, Minnesota. It was built in 1863 by a congregation of immigrants from Hopedale, Pennsylvania.[2] It is built in a Greek Revival style, typical of other early public buildings in Minnesota. The steeple was moved forward in 1908 to create a bell tower.[3] The congregation disbanded in the 1940s, but the church is maintained and used by the Waconia Moravian Church.
