Beautiful cathedral in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, that showcases the natural beauty around it. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. We sat on a pew for several minutes enjoying the peaceful music and scenery. The architecture is stunning as well. We made a small donation with credit card before leaving.

An absolutely beautiful venue. I had a chance to visit this chapel because of a wedding. The windows provided a lovely view of the outdoors. It even seemed like we had both the beauty of the outdoors along with the conveniences of the indoors (including AC). There was plenty of parking and there were clear signs marking the entrance to the chapel.

Very impressive structure. Deemed, and probably redeemed, Ozark Gothic. This is a MUST visit site. There is no closer way to be in the presence of the creator and to be able to look upon his creation. DO IT!!!

So lovely!! I don't think I took enough photos and I definitely would love to go again. Perfect place for wedding, engagement or anniversary photos! Anyone who loves photography and old chapels would LOVE this place. My kids and husband enjoyed it as much as I did. I look forward to visiting again when vacationing in Arkansas.

I'm taking a road trip through Eureka Springs and I possibly will be passing by while the Chapel is closed. Will I still be able to walk around the outside of the building? Or are there gates to keep people from coming onto the property?

Charles D | Mar 23, 2021
Sean Slavick | Mar 24, 2021

It is a beautiful place to look at and take pictures of but, its probably a 10 to 15min stop at the most. They are open most of the time so if you missed their posted hours it would probably be dark and you couldn't see anything anyway. If you don't see that one you can always visit the chapel in the gardens outside of hot springs, very similar and just as beautiful

There's an original church, which is the one in most pics, and a functional church next to it. Not sure if you can get married in the original, but someone from their church should lead you in the right direction. (The functional church mimics the orig: really cool.)

Can you ride bikes through this area

Erin Parker | Mar 23, 2021
Linda Wong | Mar 24, 2021

You can but not recommend as the road around is not wide, pretty narrow and car are driving on faster speed with twist and turns. On the ground of the chapel you possibly can but it is not too big. The short road to the chapel is shared with road to private residence so there is also car coming and going.

how long for a tour?

Mariette Collins | Mar 24, 2019
Judith Copeland | Mar 25, 2019

Not a tour, just an opportunity to visit and enjoy the scenery and serenity. When I went, I simply went in and sat down for a while. A lady was at the door as an attendant, but she didn't try to talk to you unless you had questions. They had a donation jar near the doorway but there was no fee to visit. I probably would not recommend taking small children because it's more of a place to be respectfully quiet. Seeing the structure and how it's built was well worth the visit.
