Loretto Chapel (The)
 

Description

Bishop Jean Lamy commissioned this Gothic Revival-style chapel. It was completed in the 1880s. The stained glass window was made in Paris, France, and delivered to Santa Fe in a covered wagon. The most outstanding feature of the chapel is the famous Miraculous Staircase. The circular staircase winds its way from the floor of the chapel to the choir loft above. The Loretto Chapel no longer belongs to the Catholic Church. It is a private museum and there is a gift shop on the premises.

Inspiring
By ,
It was an solemn experience. The story was extremely inspiring and the staircase kind of made my mouth drop open. Who would think that the staircase would just hang there without support. The Chapel was breathtaking. Would love to visit again in the future.

I am planning a Trip back
By ,
It was an experience of a lifetime, as soon as i walked in I felt peaceful and would highly recommend a visit to anyone who is in the area to check this out. I do not remember the cost to enter, but it was worth it, and the gift shop has nice gifts to take home and share.

Awesome!
By ,
This took your breath away. Even my 4 year old couldn't get enough of it. I have never felt the holy spirit more than while in that church. Don't know how to explain it. We didn't want to leave.

What a wedding
By ,
I attended a wedding here and it was fantastic. If you are planning to take the plunge, consider this place. It has a great atmosphere and the floating stairway is a great addition.

I loved the staircase. Not only is it beautiful, but the story behind it is wonderful! Well worth the visit and the minimal entry fee.

It was absolutely a spiritual refresher
By ,
I was not knowing what to expect when my husband and I first went in. Once we entered the Chapel area, there was a spiritual presence there, that just took your breath away. It was so neat to see the life of Jesus depicted throughout the Chapel area. Then to see the amazing staircase was just too much. We cannot wait to go back.

Intriguing story and must see in Santa Fe.
By ,
Delightful story as to it's creation and stunning beauty of the creation. This is something that everyone to Santa Fe must see at least once while visiting. Can't say too much more about it or will give away it's intrigue!

A Must Do when in Santa Fe.
By ,
Charming story of the sisters of Loretto found here. What an amazing staircase. We loved this stop on our tour of Santa Fe, NM. To think of the creativity and craftsmanship used years ago to build this beautiful staircase. I'm a real believer.
