Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow, Dutch Colonial church in Sleepy Hollow, United States
The stone church features thick fieldstone walls, an octagonal wooden belfry, and Flemish-style gambrel roof atop a rectangular structure.
Frederick Philipse designed and constructed this religious building in 1685, making it the oldest standing church in New York State.
Washington Irving selected this church as the central location for his story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, published in 1819.
Visitors can attend summer worship services, holiday events, or explore the three-acre burial ground surrounding the church until 4:30 PM.
The church bell carries an inscription reading 'If God is for us, who can ever be against us' in its wooden belfry.
