Palmyra New York Temple, Mormon temple in Palmyra, United States
The Palmyra New York Temple is a place of worship made of white granite with contemporary architecture and a single spire topped by an angel Moroni statue. The building contains two instruction rooms, two sealing rooms, and provides endowment presentations available in multiple languages.
The temple opened on April 6, 2000, a date marking the 170th anniversary of the church's establishment in New York. Its location was deliberately chosen to honor the historical beginnings of the movement in this region.
The temple displays stained glass windows depicting the Sacred Grove, a location central to the faith's founding narrative. These windows connect visitors to a place of spiritual importance within the building itself.
The building sits along Temple Road and is straightforward to reach from the surrounding area. Visitors should know that interior spaces are organized for ceremonies and services, with specific guidelines for entry and conduct.
The waiting area features transparent windows with etched tree patterns, positioned so visitors can view the neighboring Sacred Grove beyond the glass. This thoughtful connection between interior and exterior space lets people experience both the building and its historical setting at once.
