Religiöse Stätten in Chicago

Chicago's Sacred Spaces

Chicago's religious history is documented in the stone and stained glass of its diverse houses of worship. This collection spans from the historic Old Saint Patrick Church, one of the few structures to survive the Great Chicago Fire, to the mid-century modern architecture of St. Peter’s in the Loop. It highlights the architectural legacy of Catholic parishes in neighborhoods like Lakeview and Gage Park alongside the vibrant community presence of Missionary Baptist churches across the city's South Side.
