Holy Cross Monastery and Chapel
Holy Cross Monastery and Chapel, Religious landmark in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Holy Cross Monastery and Chapel exhibits Renaissance Revival, Mediterranean Revival, and Italianate architectural elements throughout its stone structure and detailed facade.
Founded in 1873 by the Passionists, the monastery underwent major reconstruction in 1901 after the original building was determined structurally unsound.
The monastery served as a central religious institution for Irish immigrants in Cincinnati during the late 19th century, including a grade school established in 1891.
The former religious complex now functions as corporate headquarters for Towne Properties and offers event spaces for various gatherings and celebrations.
Visitors historically climbed 125 steps to reach the church during Holy Week, ending their journey at The Grotto beneath the monastery.
