Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption

Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption, Roman Catholic cathedral in Trenton, New Jersey

The Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption is a Roman Catholic church in Trenton designed with a Modern Romanesque exterior in Mount Airy granite and featuring a 98-foot corner tower. The building defines the downtown skyline with its distinctive tower structure and solid stone walls.

The site where the cathedral stands was where Hessian Commander Col. Johann Gottlieb Rall died during the Battle of Trenton on December 27, 1776. This battle marked a turning point in the Revolutionary War and gave the location deep historical weight.

The cathedral preserves elements from its predecessor church, including restored bronze doors, altar railings, and sections of original stained glass windows. These carried-forward pieces connect the current building with its past and create continuity in the faith life at this location.

The cathedral is located downtown on North Warren Street and can be visited during weekdays when the parish holds its regular services. Visitors should plan to dress appropriately and arrive prepared for any scheduled events or private masses taking place.

The clock tower of the original church was manufactured by the Seth Thomas Clock Company specifically for the Paris Exposition of 1878. This rare piece of industrial craftsmanship carries a story of international significance into the local architecture.
