Trinity Church 89 Broadway New York, NY 10006 Located in the heart of the financial district is the oldest Episcopal congregation in New York City. Prior to entering the church, all visitors are subject to a mandatory security screening. Everyone is required to empty their pockets and walk through a metal detector. If you brought any size bag, it must be examined on an X-ray conveyor belt. The security protocol is taken very seriously; multiple guards are present during the insertion. The interior has a variety of beautiful sights to admire. A diagonal shaped peppercorn plaque is engraved on the floor beside the security station. It is the very spot where Queen II stood when she visited the church in 1976. In addition to celebrating the country's bi-centennial anniversary, the Queen was collecting back rent that was paid in peppercorns. Located at the nave of the church, the stained glass is very colorful and stands at a whopping 27 feet high and 11 feet wide. The grand piano has more than 88 keys. Everyone may have a seat on any of the cathedral benches to rest, pray or seek a quiet escape from the urban life.   Feel free to light a candle at the votive candle station, which signifies that a prayer to God continues even after exiting the building. The North & South Graveyard are located outside the church. Upon exiting to explore the graveyard, nobody is allowed to return inside unless they go through another security screening.   Historical figures are buried in this graveyard such as Robert Fulton, Alexander Hamilton, and John Watts. Several of the tombstones are several hundred years old, which accounts for their decrepit state.   In addition to tombstones, there are other sights to see. Detailed carvings of biblical figures are sculpted on the Astor Cross. The Soldiers Monument honors the POWs who died during the American Revolution. The Swords Memorial Fountain was a public water system that served as a community water fountain and horse trough during the 1900s. If you wish to receive a more detailed guided tour, scan the QR code on a "Virtual Tour" sidewalk billboard. A few of the billboards are located within the graveyards. Whether or not you are religious, I highly recommend exploring this designated landmark in Lower Manhattan. When you do arrive, be ready for a thorough security screening. #trinitychurch #lowermanhattan #astorcross #swordsmemorialfountain #peppercornplaque read more

The Trinity Church is beautiful! On my way to the One World Trade Center, I stopped by to take a look at the Trinity Church. It's located at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway in Lower Manhattan's Financial District. I'm so glad that I had a chance to stop by. The Gothic architecture stands out compared to some of the modern architecture such as the Skyscrapers. The original church was founded in 1697! The current building was completed in 1846. I was amazed to learn that beyond its historic and architecture significance, It still operates programs and provides music, education, and community outreach services! It's such a spectacular sight and I was in awe when I saw it. It's absolutely worth a visit if you're visiting New York City for the first time or if you're a local! read more

This church and graveyard have surged in popularity because of the success of the play, "Hamilton." It's easy to think this church was not an attraction before the play. However, I visited this location as part of a field trip over 60 years ago because even then, it was famous for being one of the first public churches in the US, dating back to 1697, which makes it 328 years old. According to their website, "The Trinity Churchyard was likely used as a public burial ground as early as the 1660s, when the Dutch had control of New York and the city was still known as New Amsterdam. The oldest legible gravestone belongs to 5-year-oldRichard Churcher, who died in 1681." In addition to the very old grave stones (many which are illegible at this point, the church itself is very much worth seeing. It is beautiful and has gorgeous stained glass windows, more than I would expect for a Protestant Church. The church is larger inside than it first seems because it includes several smaller chapels. It's a worthwhile experience. The church is very near Wall Street, so if you are in lower Manhattan to see the Statue of Liberty, China Town, the Financial District, I recommend including this on your "must see" list. read more

I visited Trinity Church when I was in the neighborhood last weekend. It's just off Wall Street, but it's such a relaxing break from the go go go of Lower Manhattan. It's free to visit (although they welcome donations), and you do go through a bit of security when you enter. The church is really quite stunning, with its Gothic Revival architecture and stained glass. The church was the tallest building in the United States until 1869 and the tallest in New York City until 1890. Just next to the church is Trinity Churchyard, a burial ground where Alexander Hamilton is buried. It's worth a quick visit if you're in the area! read more

Trinity Church stands on a hilltop at the junction of Broadway and Wall Street. Today its spire is dwarfed by skyscrapers, but in the early 1800s, the church's 200-foot spire dominated the landscape. Trinity Church dates all the way back to 1697 when King William III granted a charter to the church. The charter serves as the incorporation document for the church and states that the church must pay "one peppercorn" a year to the crown Three churches have stood on the spot. This structure is actually the third Trinity Church to exist. The first church burned down in the Great New York City Fire of 1776, the second was demolished in 1839 after snowfall caused structural problems, and this current structure was consecrated in 1846. Some interesting facts which I find during my visit & research: 1) Trinity Church was once the tallest building in New York City. when it was completed in 1846, Trinity Church held the title of tallest building in the United States for 23 years, until it was surpassed in 1869. However, it remained the tallest building in New York City all the way up until 1890, 2) When Trinity was granted its charter from King William III in 1697, the rent set by the English crown was "one peppercorne" per year. On July 9th, 1976, when Queen Elizabeth II visited the church, she was presented with 279 peppercorns as "back rent." read more

It is hard not to miss the 281-foot steeple of this beautiful church. Trinity Church is located in the heart of the financial district and faces Wall Street. I love old churches and this one is one of my favorites. Trinity Church was built in the mid 1800's and was once the tallest structure in New York City. Today it is dwarfed by many skyscrapers. Trinity Church Wall Street is still an active Episcopal parish and holds worship services each week and does community outreach. Both the Trinity Church and the Churchyard are open to the public daily during daylight hours. There is no charge to enter, but they do accept donations. You can walk on a pathway through the burial grounds in the courtyard. Despite being in a busy part of New York City, the grounds are very peaceful and tranquil. Alexander Hamilton, Albert Gallatin, and Robert Fulton are some notable people that are buried here. This is actually the third Trinity Church that was built in 1846. The first two were damaged by fire and weather. I love its Gothic Revival design. It is one of my favorite churches to photograph. The church has 23 bells that you can hear ringing from time to time. The doors are made of bronze and very impressive to see in person. I spent a little time checking out the interior of the church. The stained-glass windows are so beautiful. Just remember to be respectful to those that are worshipping here if you decide to go inside. read more

This historic church stands at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway. A church on this site dates back to the 1600s with a charter from King William III on May 6, 1697. The current structure is the third here and construction completed in 1846. At the time, the spire was the tallest structure in the area and was the tallest building in the United States until 1869. The building is designed as Gothic Revival architecture and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Unfortunately, I was only able to view the outside today as there was some state thing going on with lots of security and men with ear pieces and bulges under their coats. Bummer!

This is another Historic Landmark Church that has survived Four Centuries. The cemetery, St. Paul's Chapel, and the preschool are under the jurisdiction of this Episcopal Congregation. The Church has worship services multiple times daily all through the week. They provide services to the elderly, disabled, homeless, children, and much more. They have a website that's easy to navigate for more information. You may find the church history interesting. After much renovation I suggest you visit. I used to work nearby. I have witnessed the many environmental changes over the years since 911. The members of this Religious Community have moved forward with unbelievable determination. I'm here to applaud their ongoing efforts to keep their house of worship and service to the community alive. My photos are of the place I like to visit most frequently, the cemetery. You can find my reviews for St. Paul's Chapel and for the cemetery on Yelp too. I recommend you visit all three locations. read more

The original was built in 1697, and the 2nd built in 1705 which was destroyed in a fire in 1776. Trinity miraculously survived the attacks on September 11th 2001, and was also a place where many survivors of that dreadful day found refuge from the collapsing towers around it. Alexander Hamilton is one of the many historically prominent people of the US revolution and "Founding Father" of America, buried here on the grounds of this famous landmark. Trinity is an Episcopal parish of the Anglican Communion, offering a full schedule of Daily Prayer and Eucharist services. Trinity also offers Christian fellowship and outreach to the community.

Located near the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway, in the lower Manhattan section of New York City. It has such beautiful architecture that you can admire from a distance and it just gets better as you get closer to it. The second Church was politically significant because President Washington and members of his government often worshiped there. Additional notable parishioners included John Jay and Alexander Hamilton. During the September 11 terrorist attacks, as the first World Trade Center tower collapsed, people took refuge from the massive debris cloud inside the church. There are three burial grounds closely associated with Trinity Church: Trinity Churchyard, at Wall Street and Broadway, is where Alexander Hamilton, Elizabeth Schuyler, Angelica Schuyler, Philip Hamilton, William Bradford, Franklin Wharton, Robert Fulton, Captain James Lawrence and Albert Gallatin are buried. read more

This Episcopal church is historic dates back to Colonial-era New York. It hones great architecture and history where President George Washington worshiped here, Alexander Hamilton is buried at the grave yard, Queen Elizabeth II visited in 1976 and survived the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001. It is within mere walking proximity of WTC. The interior and facade architecture is beautiful. There is a grave on premise. Trinity Church is worth a visit- regardless of one's religious beliefs or cultural background. (I am Christian- specifically Baptist). It is a good quiet place for one to ponder in deep thought to put the pause button on life for stillness. I briefly sat at a pew to calm my mind, in conjunction, to reduce my stress level with my problematic blood pressure. Trinity Church has been designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977 by the National Park Service. read more
