The grounds upon which Louisville’s Cathedral of the Assumption stands were consecrated in 1830. The seat of our first Bishop, Father Benedict Joseph Flaget, moved from Bardstown, Kentucky, to Louisville eleven years later in 1841. Located on the site of the old St. Louis Church, the Cathedral is designed in Neo-Gothic style by William Keeley and Isaiah Rogers, two of America’s finest 19th century architects. Completed in 1852, it is the fourth oldest public building in the city of Louisville as well as the third oldest Catholic Cathedral in the United States in continuous use. The steeple rises 287 feet above the Louisville skyline and, upon its completion, was North America’s tallest spire. The Coronation window is one of the oldest surviving examples of hand-painted stained glass in the country.
