Cathedral of the AssumptionThe Cathedral of the Assumption is the fourth oldest public
building in Louisville as well as the third oldest Catholic
Cathedral in the United States in continuous use. Designed in the
Neo-Gothic style by William Keeley and Isaiah Rogers, the Cathedral
was completed in 1852. The steeple rises 287 feet (84m) above the
Louisville skyline, and upon its completion, was North America's
tallest spire. The chancel window is one of the oldest surviving
examples of hand-painted stained glass in the country. The
Cathedral of the Assumption is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places and is an active, urban parish with 1,500
registered families.
