The New York Landmarks Conservancy is hosting the Sacred Sites Open House from May 18-19, inviting the public to tour 150 churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, and meeting houses across the state, including 13 sites in Brooklyn.
The Conservancy began hosting the tours of religious facilities in 2011. This year’s theme, “Medieval to Modern: Celebrating New York’s Religious Art and Architecture,” will highlight various historical periods, faith traditions, and religious architectural styles.
Participating congregations will offer lectures, performances, and guided tours. Thirteen sites across Brooklyn will welcome visitors for the event. See the list below and click on the link to learn more about each site. Visit sacredsitesopenhouse.org for more information.
