3 reviews for Grace Church
What a beautiful church........a true Gothic revival Masterpiece!!!! right in the heart of New York City....located amid the hustle and bustle of Manhattan is this breataking sight.....A GEM OF A PLACE............
I can't help but stop and and just admire the beauty of the architecture...its arches...the spire...the stained glass...mosaics...carvings....I feel like being transported back in time....whenever I go there... something about houses of workship that truly fascinates me...very serene and uplifting...It has a rare blend of historic interest and modern sophistication....
Grace Church reminds me of Ely Cathedral in Ely, England....a smaller version of it and St. Paul's Church in London where Prince Charles wed his Camilla...It is also a part of the Epicopal Church which is the American branch of the Church of England....a church that grew out of the 16th century reformation.
A Historic Landmark on Broadway near 10th St...it is perfect for worship,music, wedding and inspirational sermons......The cornerstone was laid in 1843 and consecrated in 1846...Designed by James Renwick Jr, nephew of Henry Brevoort, who sold them the land, who also later designed the famous St, Patricks' Cathedral...it was said that workers who cut the stone came from the state prison Sing Sing....
A true Masterpiece...It is truly worth a visit.....
This sounds horrible, but if you're looking for a nice pit stop while doing your weekend shopping up and down Broadway, this is the place to go. The Gothic beauty is breathtaking, has been around since 1846 and is a gem on a street filled with loud neon shoppers. Upon stepping in you are greeted with a breath of fresh air when the city noise is hushed and the light from the stained glass kisses you face. This was actually the first church that James Renwick, Jr designed. (After designing Grace Church he went onto to do St. Patrick's Cathedral.) The Municipal Arts Society is currently preserving it at all costs so this NYC landmark will be around for quite some time. They are taking donations, so please drop what you can to help!
A medieval church where you'd least expect it. It's moments like these that make New York so cool. This is a beautiful Medieval church that makes you feel like you are in Europe for a split second. Visit Grace Church to see one of the Bach concerts.
