Chapel of the Holy Cross

780 Chapel Road, (East of State Route 179), Sedona, AZ
Tel: (928) 282-4069
 

Designed by a Frank Lloyd Wright student, Marguerite Brunswig Staude, the chapel was built in 1956 and rises 200 feet from the ground between two large red rock formations. One of the most distinctive features is a 90-foot cross, which can be seen from the ground along State Route 179. A massive stained glass window turns the chapel's interior into a kaleidoscope of color at certain times of the day. No services are held here, but it provides an ideal setting for spiritual reflection and prayer as well as incredible views of the Red Rocks. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated.

  • The ambiance and vibes of this place.
  • Crowds and the mansion being built beneath the chapel (inappropriate).

“A beautiful green-tinted stained glass behind the altar, above which hangs an intriguing and creative, a bit abstract even, face bust of Jesus. Looking through the windows at the front of this gorgeous chapel you feast your eyes on a panoramic view of the red rocks! The smell of candles lit, the peaceful quiet that enshrouds the inside of this wonderful place is lovely. You could sit there for hours, be you a spiritual person or not-Christian or not. The design of this chapel was so ahead of its time, a 90 foot cross making up the front of the chapel, jutting out of 2 red rocks almost 100 feet above the ground. The hike up is well worth it! The views outside of the chapel are not to be described, but seen. If you have an opportunity to visit Sedona, lucky you, if you do then make sure you visit the Chapel of the Holy Cross! You will love it!”
