Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple, Religious temple in Pétion-Ville, Haiti
The Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple stands on a 10,396-square-foot (0.24-acre) property in Pétion-Ville, behind the Route de Frères meetinghouse. Its exterior has a limestone façade, and the grounds are planted with palm trees, shrubs and sod. Inside are one ordinance room and one sealing room, lit by Swarovski crystal chandeliers from Austria and Venetian hand-blown glass fixtures in the bride's room.
Announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on April 5, 2015, the temple was built on land behind the Route de Frères meetinghouse, a site apostle Neil L. Andersen revealed at a stake conference on March 12, 2017. Walter F. González led the groundbreaking on October 28, 2017, and David A. Bednar dedicated the finished temple on September 1, 2019, in three sessions, with some 24,000 members in its district.
The interior design uses Haitian motifs: hibiscus, the national flower, and palm leaves are woven into the carpets, art glass and upholstery in turquoise, lime green, blue and gold. Swarovski crystal chandeliers from Austria hang inside, and the bride's room has Venetian hand-blown glass fixtures.
