Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church is a Neogothic Revival brick structure built in 1910 in Hartland, Wisconsin, erected by the town's German-speaking Lutheran congregation following an ethnic split that had fractured the community's original 1867 parish. Constructed by general contractors J.P. Peterson and Bernard Nienow with substantial member labor donations, the church features a fieldstone foundation supporting cream brick walls beneath a gable roof, crowned by a square front tower with shingled spire and cross. Though modest in its Gothic Revival expression—marked by only subtle pointed arches rather than soaring verticality—the building is recognized as a representative local example of the style. A 1951 rear addition has not compromised its architectural character. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
