Mother of God Roman Catholic Church
Mother of God Roman Catholic Church, Roman Catholic church in Covington, Kentucky
Mother of God Church is a Roman Catholic building in Covington featuring two 200-foot bell towers and a 100-foot central dome. The dome rests on Corinthian columns decorated with gold leaf.
The building was constructed in 1871, replacing an earlier structure from 1842 on the same site. It earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
The interior contains five large canvas paintings by Johann Schmitt displayed on the walls, while the ceiling features frescoes by Wenceslaus Thien. Stained glass windows from Munich shape how light fills the space inside.
The place is open to visitors interested in exploring the architectural details and artworks inside. It is best to visit during daylight hours to see how the natural light interacts with the windows and interior decorations.
The cemetery on the grounds holds the remains of renowned artist Frank Duveneck, who was baptized in the original church building. This artist holds significance in the area's cultural history.
