St. Paul’s Chapel

St. Paul’s Chapel, which opened in 1766, stands as a historic landmark in Lower Manhattan’s Financial District and is part of the parish of Trinity Church. Notably, George Washington once attended services here during the American Revolution. The chapel’s enduring presence has made it Manhattan’s oldest public building still in use. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, it served as a place of refuge for firefighters and emergency workers. Today, visitors can experience an active place of worship that also offers a glimpse into the city’s rich history.
