Our Position on Historic Houses of Worship
Historic Houses of Worship have great historic, artistic, social, and cultural value to communities, whether or not they remain in religious use. The National Trust for Historic Preservation supports congregations and communities working to maintain, repair, and restore sacred sites in continued religious use. When historic houses of worship are closed, we urge communities and religious leadership to plan for the preservation and sensitive reuse of these important buildings.
