Explore Buffalo Visits Blessed Trinity
Saturday, April 11, 2026
2 – 3:30 PM
Explore Buffalo is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization with a mission of promoting Buffalo and Western New York history, architecture, and neighborhoods. On Saturday, April 11, Blessed Trinity will be their featured Sacred Sites tour.
Built between 1925 and 1928, Blessed Trinity Church is considered to be the purest replication of twelfth century Lombard-Romanesque architecture in the USA. In addition to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places, it is a NYS Historical Site and was the first architectural landmark recognized by Buffalo’s Landmark & Preservation Board in 1977.
Experienced docents will be on hand to highlight our building’s history and design and share their knowledge of its art and architecture, including its unique handmade bricks set in a style dating back to the Middle Ages, the extensive use of terra cotta in its construction, and the fantastic array of Christian symbolism found in its sculpture and artwork. Visitors will enjoy the added bonus of seeing the church decorated for Easter, the most significant feast day on the Christian calendar.
Weather permitting, the 90-minute tourism opportunity will include an interpretation of the building’s ornate facade.
Our church is wheelchair accessible, and Explore Buffalo asks that you enter through the church’s east (ramp side) door. There is ample off-street parking behind the church and adjacent to the east side door.
