DETAILS:

Holy Trinity is one of just two churches designed by Louis Sullivan. It is the oldest Orthodox parish in Chicago, founded in 1892, and the Cathedral for the Orthodox Church in America: Diocese of the Midwest. Holy Trinity was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and named a Chicago Landmark in 1979. The church retains features typical of Slavic provincial architecture, including an octagonal dome and a frontal bell tower. Decorative design elements of Louis Sullivan and Louis Millet can be viewed from the exterior and interior. The parish is currently fundraising for interior rectory renovations.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE:

The church will be open for self-guided tours, with parishioners available to answer questions. Regular scheduled tours are available on Eventbrite for signup by Trained Docents. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/holy-trinity-orthodox-cathedral-tour-tickets-1109170120689?aff=oddtdtcreator ENTRANCE RESTRICTIONS: No hats, food, drinks, or pets allowed
