This is a Roman Catholic Franciscan Mission with a long history, having been set up during the Spanish era. First, this is a functioning parish with daily and weekend masses. Weekend Sunday morning masses were 800am 930am and 11am. It has pastoral programs and a nice area to run this from. Second, the church looks like something out of a picture book. Thinking of whether a retreat here is worthwhile.

Beautiful place to stop for a while. Although not a tourist attraction, it's worth the visit. You may not be able to enter the church, but walking around the open areas is worth spending one hour there.

This was the best and memorable place in Solvang. It shows how the Dutch settlers become one with the land and the people. The Missions rich history and and tribals and tribulations show that we need to keep our history alive to understand it and grow as people. When the Dutch came in, they didn't destroy or change it they helped build and save the Mission. Great place to think about life.

What was the crop and products

Mission Santa Inez was very profitable in raising both crops and cattle upon its thousands of acres within the very fertile lands of the Santa Ynez valley. Crops grown at Santa Inez are listed as peas, carrots, cabbage, squash, potatoes, olives, grapes, peaches, pears, apricots and hemp. They had a grist mill, grinding corn and wheat. Most Missions along the Camino Real had special skills. Here, it was known for its leather, silver and copper work. Mission Santa Ines was known for its creation of fancy saddles adorned with silver work. Candle sticks were also made here. By 1817, the Mission was recorded as raising thousands of cattle and sheep. Its herds also contained hundreds of horses, mules, goats and pigs.
