Central Lutheran Church
Located in downtown Minneapolis, Central Lutheran Church is designed in the style of a neo-Gothic type cathedral. Completed in 1928, the sanctuary is a combination of English and French Gothic designs, laid out in the shape of a cross. The soaring interior, rising to more than 65 feet, is enhanced with large stained glass windows of a patterned design similar to those of Westminster Abbey.
