Review & FAQ:
Old Mission Santa Ines is a beautifully restored Catholic Mission established in 1804 and one of the top Solvang attractions. Through its 210-year long history, the mission suffered natural disasters, financial hardships, political turmoil, social upheaval, a rebellion, decay and neglect before undergoing several bouts of restoration and repair and becoming one of the real gems of California Missions.
The mission was originally established to integrate the Chumash People of the Santa Ynez valley into the way of life of Spain. Today, Old Mission Santa Inés is the guardian of a rare collection of art - paintings, vestments, statuary, artifacts, and manuscripts. The mission has an active parish, and you can come for a mass in English or Spanish or you can join a docent-led tour of the mission treasures.
