Trinity Episcopal Cathedral

Trinity Episcopal Cathedral is a Gothic Revival church in Trenton with a main altar of rose-colored marble set on green Italian marble bases. The interior displays carved apostle figures, decorated chapels, and various altar spaces throughout.

The idea for a cathedral began in 1908 when a bishop proposed establishing a diocesan church. It was then developed as a key religious center for the Episcopal Church in the region.

The north transept holds elements from different traditions, including Russian icons and carved apostle figures at altars. This blend shows how the cathedral welcomed diverse spiritual communities.

Access is via West State Street in downtown Trenton. Visitors can come during opening hours, especially when services are held, for the best experience of the space.

The crypt below the church shows Norman architecture with rounded arches and octagonal columns. Its walls hold depictions of biblical figures like Moses, connecting the building to older architectural traditions.
