History

The origins of the school date to 1863, when the Theological School of the Wisconsin Synod began in Watertown, Wisconsin. In 1870, the school merged with Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod's Concordia Seminary.

In 1878, the WELS reopened a seminary of their own in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1893 it moved to Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.

In 1935 Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary was moved to a new permanant campus in Mequon, Wisconsin. The architecture of the buildings on the campus are loosely based on the Wartburg Castle in Germany, including the use of stone walls and slate for the roof.
