Before we left on our Land That We Love Tour I noticed there was a cathedral in Helena, Montana. After we toured the Capitol and had our meal in downtown Helena we used our phone google map to find the cathedral.
The Cathedral of St. Helena was constructed at the turn of the century during the episcopate of Bishop John Carroll. It is an outstanding example of Geometric Gothic architecture, patterned after the Votive Church of the Sacred Heart in Vienna, Austria. The majestic twin spires rise 230 feet above the street.
The outside today and I’ll share the amazing interior on another day. We were happy to find the front door of the cathedral open.

Hello,
Beautiful cathedral, wonderful photos. Take care, have a happy day and a great weekend!
Beautiful! I’m looking forward to seeing inside. Those rose windows and other stained glass must be spectacular.
…a work of art.
Incredible. Look at all that detail!
Thank you everyone. It was a beautiful surprise in this part of Montana.
What a beautiful and impressive building!!
What beautiful photos of the cathedral on such a beautiful blue sky! Looking forward to seeing inside, Ellen.
The architecture and the detail of these artisans
always amazes me! They took such pride in their work.
This is stunning! I kept going back to the first picture to see where things were, the cross, the statues, (saints?) so much detail. And even the back of it, the lines and the various shapes, the color of the roof, I bet you had a blast photographing this! I can’t wait to see the inside!
The detail is stunning for sure. Thanks for stopping by for a look. 🙂
Absolutely wonderful! Hugs,dear Ellen.
