A pillar of the community in lower Manhattan, Trinity Church has played an integral part in New York history from the Revolutionary War to present day. In 1698 Capt. William Kidd gave the runner and tackle from his ship to the builders for hoisting during construction.The church was rebuilt twice before the final reconstruction was completed in 1846. Admire the bronze doors and 23 bells, which reflect the rich patronage the church has received throughout the years. See the burial place of Alexander Hamilton and other famed New Yorkers in the cemetery. Near the burial grounds, you can also visit the tree sculpture commemorating those lost on 9/11. The church is still active with services and a full music program.

Alexander, Eliza and Phillip Hamilton. Also a memorial for Robert Fulton. It’s free to see and right beside the train station.

Beautiful church and church grounds. Be prepared for screening to go inside. It was very quiet when we went. Make time to explore the graves in the churchyard.

Unusual photo ops with the old church and its graveyard in the heart of a financial modern district. We went on a quiet Sunday morning, free to roam And take pics,

Beautiful church! The solid metal doors are amazing in itself. The graveyard on both sides is a great place to wander around. With one of its famous resident Alexander Hamilton. The inside is a peaceful place. You do have to Show proof of vaccination. You also have to go through a metal detector. The staff are friendly. If you are in lower Manhattan or Wall Street area, you should stop by this church.

Beautiful classic architecture. Did not go inside, but this church is so beautiful on the outside .. The garden is amazing! Just walking the grounds was very spiritual and restful. …
-
Only open for visits to churchgoers on Sunday which means you are also not able to walk the grounds immediately surrounding the historic church except for Sundays. Worth visiting any day of the week. The exterior reliefs, stained glass and view of the grounds through the wrought iron fence is worth the effort.

We didn't go into the church but just perused the graveyard. It was a really cool experience to see the history and think about the life some people may have lead. Coming from the west we don't have as much history that goes back this far so it was cool to see.

Trinity Church to me is one of the must see sights of NYC. While now nestled between taller structures, it’s hard to imagine it once as the tallest structure in New York. It is still a sanctuary from the bustles of downtown. The architecture is of course beautiful, and spending some time in the space is a spiritual experience. The cemetery is worth a visit as well.
