Portland Oregon Temple, Mormon temple in Lake Oswego, Oregon, United States.
The Portland Oregon Temple is a white marble structure with a green roof located in Lake Oswego near Portland. Rising approximately 170 feet with six spires and a central tower, it contains multiple rooms designed for different types of religious services.
The temple opened in 1989 as Oregon's first religious building of this type for the faith community. It was the 42nd operating temple for the organization at that time.
The temple serves as a spiritual center where members gather for religious ceremonies and rituals throughout the year. Visitors can observe how the space is designed to support these practices, with areas dedicated to different types of services.
The building is easily accessible by car from nearby Interstate 5 and Highway 217. Visitors should be aware that certain areas require membership status, though multilingual services are available.
The grounds include fountains, pools, and manicured gardens that were recognized by Portland's Royal Rosarians gardening group in 1994. These outdoor features create a quiet setting that contrasts with the formal building.
