St. Paul's Episcopal Church

St. Paul's Episcopal Church is a church building in downtown Milwaukee featuring Richardsonian Romanesque architecture with distinctive dark red stonework. The structure is made from Lake Superior Sandstone quarried from the Apostle Islands region and displays the heavy, fortress-like character typical of this architectural style.

The church was established in 1838 and became the oldest Episcopal parish in Milwaukee. It represented the third Episcopal church founded in the entire state of Wisconsin.

The church plays an important role in the local spiritual community through its regular gatherings and seasonal celebrations. Visitors can experience the connection between the building and the people who gather here throughout the year.

The building is open to visitors on weekends when you can explore the interior at your own pace. Plan your visit for Saturday or Sunday to experience the space when public access is available.

The building holds Wisconsin's largest collection of Tiffany stained glass windows, which are the real draw for many visitors. One window stands out as a massive reproduction that immediately catches the eye when you step inside.
