St Paul's Chapel of Trinity Church

The church is located in Financial District and is very close to the 9/11 Memorial. The Church is intact. Surrounding the church is a cemetery. St. Paul's Chapel is part of the Trinity church. Note that this is an operating church and they do have services during the weekend and during the day. People are free to go in and walk around the church.

The church was built in the late 1700s. This church is worth a visit.

Can ashes please be distributed at St. Paul like before the pandemic?? There would be a short, beautiful service and then ashes would be distributed. I truly miss this happening at this location. Why was it stopped? Please go back to doing this service for us who work in this area. Walking 5 blocks down is not easy for everyone. Much appreciation. Thank you.

St.Paul's Chapel was founded in 1766. It is part of the Trinity Wall Street parish. George Washington prayed here after his inauguration as President in 1789.

This is a beautiful church that my buddy and I walked around and looked at it's amazing sites on the outside and went inside and saw the ambience in the historical landmarks and it has. It's right next to the old world trade center and it just brings a lot of feelings and emotions and it's an excellent Chapel

The Awesome and historic old church is well maintained, organized and taken care of by the friendly management and crew. You can still see the marks made on the wooden pews by the equipment of the rescue and recovery workers as they rested from their jobs of looking for victims of the September 11 terrorist attack at the World Trade Center site across the street.

This church is definitely worth a visit, since it's the oldest church in NYC, having been built in 1766. George Washington worshipped here during the 2 years that NYC was the nation's capital.
The church is done in a Georgian style and is very plain but beautiful. It is worth mentioning that this location was pivotal after the cowardly terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. Many people posted flyers of people they were looking for on the fence surrounding the church (it was such a sad thing to see). Many workers who helped in the clean-up actually slept inside the church, making it even more significant. St. Paul's sits in the heart of the city I love.

I was in the area and finally checked the inside of the church and it felt bittersweet. Even after all these years, it was still a somber feeling in the air from 9/11. The outside and cemetery was more attractive than the inside of the church. There are a few benches for you to sit outdoors. There isn't a fee to check out the church but you can make a donation in one of the boxes as soon as you enter the church.

Inside of the church was a lot of informative reading all of its historical events and facts. I love that the church still works to service the poor and undeserved. On the day I visited I saw church affiliates giving out food.

The church is surrounded by so many attractions that you can spend most of your day in the surrounding area. Its definitely a place to check out when you're in the area.

My rating is low only because I found it depressing. The inside is all dedicated to those that lost their lives at the WTC. I brought my friend in September. She was visiting from out of town. It was a new experience and memorable for her.
The historic cemetery is nice. The gift of the bell and dedication is really nice. It was nice to know they let people inside the Chapel. Many people want to remember their loved ones.
If you visit the WTC Memorial and Museum you should come to St. Paul's. There isn't a charge. You can donate in the donation box if you like.

Beautiful St. Paul's Chapel a 250 year old building, Manhhatans remaining Colonial-era church, a historic site, from George Washington to other famous people visited this Old School Church, very simplistic well kept, touristic friendly place to visit, First site of 911 memorial, one of several New York City Hidden Jewels.

Conveniently located near Fulton St. Subway Station all trains stops here, walking distance, check it out.

After our tour of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, we wanted to see St. Paul's Chapel, or, "The Little Chapel That Stood", It is the Episcopal chapel located at 209 Broadway, between Fulton Street and Vesey Street, that withstood both the Great New York City Fire of 1776 and the attack of 9/11. During the latter event, the church was used as a shelter and relief center for rescue workers. The fence around the church was completely covered with flags, FDNY hats, T-shirts, photos and letters. It was built in 1766 and is the oldest surviving church building in Manhattan. The church is so beautiful in its simplicity. The church seems dwarfed by all the tall skyscrapers that surround it.
