A bank barn along state Route 119, west of St. Henry, is one of the few remaining remnants of the former Himmelgarten Catholic convent property of the Sisters of the Precious Blood. The stone foundation, wooden floor and huge beams are original remains of the structure built in 1855 and owned today by Robert and Phyllis Reier.
