The Most Beautiful Place of Worship in Every State

From coast to coast, places of worship span nearly every architectural style, whether it’s a futuristic church in rural Indiana designed by one of Finland’s greatest architects (Eero Saarinen) or the recently restored Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Unity Temple in suburban Chicago.

“I figured every one would be a mosque.”

No doubt they wanted them to be. I figure they threw in the cathlic ones for credibility

I disagree about the National Cathedral in Washington DC. I would have given it to Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. I’ve been to both and while the Cathedral is impressive, I don’t think it compares to the Basilica.

I shared this on FB. Not through the MSN link, but directly from the Architecture Digest web site.

It would be interesting, if making a round-the-country road trip, to include this list of sites as possible places to visit.

How did they overlook St. Patrick's?

The cathedral on the Notre Dame campus should have been the Indiana selection.

Fort Myer Chapel for Virginia? What were these folks smoking? Lee Chapel at VMI is ten times better, but you’ll never see that on here. St Johns in Richmond where Patrick Henry gave the “Give me liberty or give me death” speech is nicer than Fort Myer.

The one on the rock in Sedona would be better than the one they chose.
