Trinity Cathedral

Trinity Cathedral is an Episcopal cathedral in downtown Omaha featuring Late Gothic Revival architecture with rough-faced stone walls built from Illinois bluestone. The structure displays forty-three stained glass lancet windows arranged throughout the exterior and interior.

The parish was founded in 1856 as Nebraska's first Episcopal congregation and gained cathedral status in 1872. The current structure was completed in 1883 and has shaped the city's skyline ever since.

The cathedral serves as the Episcopal bishop's seat for Nebraska and hosts regular services, musical performances, and community events throughout the year. It remains a significant gathering place for worship and civic occasions in the city.

The cathedral is located at the corner of Capitol Avenue and 18th Street in downtown, making it easy to find. Visitors can explore the exterior architecture at any time, and guided visits or open-door periods provide access to the interior with its woodwork and stained glass.

Six stone crosses line the roof, creating a distinctive visual signature visible from the street. Inside, visitors can see an ornately carved oak bishop's throne and dean's stall that showcase rare examples of ecclesiastical craftsmanship.
