St. Paul’s Chapel

St. Paul’s Chapel is an eighteenth-century church near the World Trade Center, surrounded by a small historic churchyard. Its quiet interior and enduring presence make it a meaningful Lower Manhattan stop.

Why go

The chapel’s modest scale feels striking beside the towers of the rebuilt World Trade Center. Its long history and role as a place of refuge and care after September 11 add depth to the churchyard and interior. Walk around the building to appreciate its survival, then enter respectfully when visitor access allows to experience the calm within.

What to look for

  • Look at the chapel and churchyard, then enter quietly if the building is open to visitors.

Useful to know

  • This is an active worship site; check current opening and service arrangements before going inside.
