Chapel Of The Holy Cross - Sedona Arizona

This Catholic Chapel was finished in 1956. It sits on top of the red rocks of Sedona. In 1932 Sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude was inspired to build this structure after seeing the Empire State Building. The Chapel Seats 150 people and is the number one attraction in Sedona.

Very nice, impressive location. Look up the White Chapel, Indiana.

I could swear I saw this in a movie back in the day once? It's really futuristic kind of cool looking. very modern for a church

[@user-tp5yb4hr4w]

wow, this is amazing mate. i can only imagine that it's much cooler temps inside the structure due to it being inside the rock. most stone structures are often cooler than buildings that aren't buried in dirt or rock.

Sedona was kool before it outgrew it's charm. You'd have to have been there back when.

Been there several times before Sedonda became a victim of it's own success.

What year did that happen? What was the result?

@@koolbuildings7916 Sedona was a well kept secret until, I think, Money Magazine named it one of the best places to live and retire to. It started getting attention for the vortex sites and natural wonders. I think the mid 90''s or so. I had friends in Vegas who bought land there for a future home. Most cashed out and sold during the craze. It is a monied area now for sure. I still love it but it isn't the same.

Well I didn't know it from before. But house prices when compared to what I'm used to in Canada are a bargain even today. If I moved to the southwest I'd probably move to a place like Chloride Arizona with an art community. Or Bisbee.

Who did give permission to build that ugly place of hate in that gorgeous nature.
