Loved this church. Couldn't go inside because of renovations. But there is so much history there. Walking around the graveyard, you see so many gravestones that are over a hundred years old. And there are benches where you can rest.

Perfect for grave digging, good soil, moist ground, rich people. Also a few famous famous bodies I have dug up here. For any asspiring grave robbers it's a great place to start a strong career.

Nice

This is a beautiful old church. The burial grounds include graves from the 1800's. You could walk through the graveyard and look at the old graves. Lots of history and very educational. No charge.

I haven't been inside the church but the visible structure and grounds are quite beautiful. There is a cool enclosed stairway on Trinity Place (street below) that leads up onto the cemetary grounds. A beautiful and serene spot in the middle of the crazy financial district. Love it.

Trinity Church is located on Wall Street in New York. It was built in 1697. The 26-meter-high minaret stands on the tall modern buildings on Wall Street, and its rose-colored sandstone appearance is very conspicuous.

While walking around New York, old churches were preciously preserved everywhere.
The contrast with the modern skyscraper was attractive.
I felt a religion and culture different from Japan.

So beautifully Historical. I first learned about Trinity Church after the 9/11 TERRORIST ATTACKS.
ME AND A FEW BATTERY PARK CITY RESIDENTS WERE ALONGSIDE THAT CHURCH PINNING PICTURES AND RIBBONS FOR OUR FELLOW MISSING FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. WE NEVER ENTERED THE CHURCH, BUT I'M SURE THAT IT'S AMAZINGLY BEYOND WORDS.

Absolutely beautiful architecture! I love this historic landmark that is both beautiful outside as well as inside. If you near this place you should visit! I would recommend when you visit make sure you have plenty of time to really enjoy this glorious place.

Good

We took a one-day whirlwind tour of NYC and happened to walk by Trinity Church. In all honesty it was probably the best part of the day and we had not even planned on visiting. The history you can feel walking through the tombstones is beyond description and I regret not spending more time there.

Note: as of July 2019 the interior is under renovations so only a small chapel is available to visit. Still really amazing!

Unfortunately the main wing is under restaurations at the moment. It was heavily appreciated however that they kept a side wing open for visitors and also allowed for candles to be lit. Hope to see the place in all its glory soon! The attached cemetery is history laden and a nice quiet spot.

Comforting to see this historic facade at the end of Wall Street. With all the continuing heightened security in the area, this and Federal Hall and The NY Stock Exchange stand as a testament to the on going history and drama this corner of the world has always stood up to.

So there is the history of the church that is a great reason to visit, yes including Alexander Hamilton's burial site. But that aside there is a lot of history in the cemetery. Even more than walking the grounds outside, it's really worth attending a service and seeing the inside...

A great historic church in lower Manhattan. This church plays a great historical significance in New York history. The cemetery is an interesting visit as well. A must see if in the area. Open to the public.

Come see where Alexander Hamilton is buried. His wife too (Eliza). Lots of people like to throw coins at Hamilton's grave but please be respectful and don't throw any nickels (Jefferson (the guy on the nickel) and Hamilton didn't get along very well).
