Dunker Church

Dunker Church is a historic building located at the Antietam National Battlefield in Maryland, United States. It was constructed in the early 19th century and is named for the Dunkers, a group of German Baptists who used it for worship. The church is significant for its role during the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862, one of the bloodiest battles in American history. It served as a landmark and refuge for soldiers and medics during the fighting. Today, Dunker Church stands as a symbol of the battle’s impact and a site for reflection on the Civil War.
