The Lutheran Church built in 1911 for Nobby has been relocated from its original site around 1941.
The original Lutheran Church site was located a few kilometres west from where the town is. A corner of the property where it was located was donated for the church to be built.
In those days, people would typically travel to church by horse, so churches were positioned every do many miles so they where accessible.
Another church site on the other side of Nobby was located at Nevilton. There is another brown sign for the historical site of the St Peter’s Lutheran Church Headington Hill
. Both of these churches were replaced by the current Lutheran Church in Nobby
.
The church was a fairly simple wooden building, smaller than the newer church in Nobby. Regional churches didn’t need to be too big when they serviced smaller populations.
All that remains of the site now is a monument with a plaque. The brown sign opposite the property is misleading as it is not located opposite the monument itself.
The plaque on the monument reads:
St Luke’s Lutheran Church
Mount Kent
Stood on this site 1911 – 1941

The monument is difficult to see from the road and many people enter the property to find it. It is on the fence line about 50 metres further west along the road, before reaching the corner of the road. It is only viewable from the outside of the property.
The property where the original Lutheran church site is located is owned by a local farmer, the wider corner used to store a vast collection of large farming equipment. He is used to people trying to look for the site, understanding that it is harder to find after the sign had moved.
The brown sign in town is “Original Lutheran Church Site”, however, the sign opposite the monument is “Historical Site”.
