A Remarkable Story

For more than 200 years, Trinity has served the spiritual and physical needs of greater Cleveland. While Trinity Cathedral has a remarkable history, having stood for over 100 years itself, Trinity’s congregation is even more historic. In fact, Trinity is the oldest Christian congregation in the city of Cleveland.

A Cleveland Landmark

Awe-inspiring Architecture

Designed by Charles F. Schweinfurth, noted architect of many Cleveland churches and landmarks, Trinity Cathedral is an awe-inspiring example of neo-perpendicular Gothic architecture. Every detail tells a story, from the intricate stained glass windows to the dark oak millwork. Gothic cathedrals are often described as parables in stone, designed to unite the “earthly city” with the yearnings for the “heavenly city.” Trinity Cathedral’s transcendent beauty does just that, serving as a sacred space for all people.

Tour the Cathedral

On select Sundays, docent-led tours are held between the worship services. You’ll learn about the cathedral’s history, architecture, art, music, windows and more. Even congregants and regular visitors are sure to discover things they have never seen before.
