Gloria Dei Old Swedes Episcopal Church

Daminick1980

The arcitecture and simplicity mixed with the history make this a must visit. Betsy Ross was married here. There was a wonderful lady stationed outside. We talked for 40 minutes about history and the city. Such an awesome experience. I did a self guided tour. Information brochures available.

One of the most peaceful and lovely churches in Philadelphia. It would be perfect if there wasn’t the constant hum of traffic noise from both sides of the church but if you can concentrate on the beautiful structures and grounds and merciful breezes you may be able to block out the noise. The church itself is quaint and well-maintained with slim pews and a modest alter. The grounds are quite large with historic gravesites and a few benches for sitting in quiet contemplation. The grounds seem to be quite safe with a daycare on site and frequent visitors strolling throughout the grounds. The trees are substantial and seemingly very old with plenty of birds chirping and whistling. Close to perfection.

True Review

A beautiful, historic church and cemetery in Philadelphia. The grounds are lovely and maintained. There are graves that date back to the 1600’s, which is amazing. They often have events there, including flea markets and festivals. It’s a great place to go and relax and think. They hold weddings and other celebrations there. Open year round. Parking can be difficult at times.
