Fordham University Church, Gothic church at Fordham University in the Bronx, US.
The University Church features six stained glass windows from Sevres, France, depicting the Four Evangelists, Saint Peter, and Saint Paul in the nave.
Built in 1845 as a seminary chapel by architect James Roosevelt Bayley, the church expanded its capacity from 400 to 1,200 seats in 1929.
The church maintains the original altar from Saint Patrick's Cathedral and leads interfaith initiatives through campus ministry programs for students of different beliefs.
Recent renovations added accessibility features, including a permanent entrance ramp, restored windows, and improvements to marble stonework and wooden elements.
The church bells influenced writer Edgar Allan Poe during his residence in the Bronx, connecting literature with the religious structure.
