Religious Landmarks of Wisconsin

Wisconsin’s religious landscape is defined by architectural diversity, ranging from the 1846 Greek Revival design of Old Saint Mary Church to the neo-Romanesque spires of Holy Hill. This collection features Milwaukee’s 19th-century cathedrals, the 1863 Gates of Heaven Synagogue—one of the oldest in the United States—and the Polish Cathedral-style Basilica of Saint Stanislaus Kostka. These sites highlight the state's immigrant history through their distinct Gothic, Romanesque, and Italianate structural designs.
