Wayfarer's Chapel

Stunning Architectural Gem

Description

This architectural gem is one of the most popular wedding venues in Los Angeles with its stunning architecture and panoramic views of the ocean. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's son, Lloyd Wright, in 1946, this chapel sits perched atop a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The Wayfarer's Chapel was built as part of the Swedenborgian Church and was meant to serve as a place for wayfarers to rest and meditate. The chapel was finally erected in 1951 after years of planning. Often called "the glass church," the chapel is made almost entirely of glass with inspiring angles, giving the effect that the chapel is made of, and resides among, the surrounding redwood trees. The property sprawls over 3.5 acres of scenic bluffs and features beautifully landscaped gardens and a gift shop.
