Tour St. Bartholomew’s Church, a National Historic Landmark designed by Bertram Goodhue in 1918. Combining Byzantine and Romanesque styles, the church often surprises visitors who mistake this Episcopal church for a Catholic or Eastern Orthodox parish.
See the impressive triple portal, commissioned by the Vanderbilt family and designed by McKim, Mead & White in 1903, as well as exquisite mosaics and stained glass by Hildreth Meière, and a magnificent 24-foot-wide Sanctus window designed by Reynolds, Francis and Rohnstock in 1943. Other highlights include a page from the Gutenberg Bible, a baptismal font by Bertel Thorvaldsen, and NYC’s largest pipe organ, an Æolian-Skinner with 12,422 pipes.
See how the welcoming and affirming community at St. Bartholomew’s Church brings life to this historic space. Nestled among the city’s high-rises, the church offers a quiet refuge in the heart of Manhattan. View how history, art, and faith come together in this peaceful setting.
