Gloria Dei Church
Columbus Blvd & Christian St, Philadelphia, PATel: (215) 597-8974
Built between 1698-1700, Gloria Dei (Old Swedes') Church survives today as the oldest church in Pennsylvania. The church is known as Old Swedes because Swedish pioneers were the first to settle the area in 1646. There is a fine collection of religious historical and religious artifacts the church has acquired over three centuries, including bronze crosses and 18th Century bibles in Swedish and English. The building itself is a perfectly preserved example of 18th Century public architecture.
Today the church is still owned and maintained by its congregation of Episcopalians. The church is part of the Independence National Historical Park system.
