Cathedral of Saint Paul
National Shrine Of The Apostle Paul · Saint Paul, Minnesota
One of the largest cathedrals in the United States, standing on the highest ground in downtown Saint Paul and looking straight down Summit Avenue at the State Capitol a mile away — the two buildings were deliberately set to face each other. It was designed by Emmanuel Masqueray in a French Beaux-Arts manner, begun in 1906 and opened for worship in 1915, with a dome rising over 300 feet and seating for around 3,000. It is a working parish and archdiocesan cathedral, not a museum, and it is free and open to visitors every day.
239 Selby Avenue, Saint Paul, Minnesota, 55102, United States
Free and open to visitors daily, generally from early morning to early evening, with no ticket required and a voluntary donation invited. It is a working cathedral — Mass, funerals, weddings and major feasts take priority and can close the nave to sightseeing at short notice, so check the parish calendar before a special trip. Free guided tours run on a limited weekday schedule.
