Bayou Rouge Baptist Church
Evergreen, La

about 180 years old and on the National Historic Monument list


I'll take a small country church over those and the other mega churches today

I love those random black churches in middle of nowhere in the delta that you think are abandoned but will be packed out every Sunday

Not in US, but there is something equally ominous and fascinating about the Cologne Cathedral.

Also not in the US but I think the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Puerto Vallarta is awe-inspiring.

Thank you OP for an uplifting topic.

In Alabama, beautiful ornate cathedrals are out. Mute box buildings with tv screens are in.

Can you imagine how many poor people the church could help if they didn’t feel the need for such oppulence?
