Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple

Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple, Modern religious temple in Baton Rouge, United States.

Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple is a single-story building of 10,700 square feet at 10339 Highland Road, next to a meetinghouse and a wetlands reserve. It holds two ordinance rooms, two sealing rooms and a baptistry. Renovated from 2018, it has beige limestone cladding, a steeple raised 10 feet, and art glass windows with shell and magnolia motifs.

The First Presidency announced the temple on October 14, 1998, and Monte J. Brough presided at the groundbreaking on May 8, 1999. Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated it on July 16, 2000, after a public open house that drew about 18,550 visitors. A renovation begun in February 2018 added limestone cladding and a raised steeple; Quentin L. Cook rededicated it on November 17, 2019.

Magnolia flowers and shell motifs appear in the art glass windows and throughout the interior. The magnolia stands for purity and local culture, while the shell motif supports spiritual reflection. The grounds are landscaped with Southern native flora, including flowering crepe myrtles and magnolia trees.

The temple stands at 10339 Highland Road, next to a meetinghouse and beside a 103-acre wetlands reserve. Only members with a bishop's recommendation may enter; other visitors can view the beige limestone exterior, the raised steeple and the landscaped grounds with crepe myrtles and magnolias. Open houses, such as those in July 2000 and October–November 2019, are the only times the public may go inside.

The 6.37-acre site borders a 103-acre wetlands reserve, and the grounds are landscaped with Southern native flora, including flowering crepe myrtles and magnolia trees. The magnolia also appears as a motif in the temple's art glass windows, where it stands for purity and local culture.
