Review & FAQ:

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is a striking, imposing structure in downtown Fort Wayne. A Roman Catholic cathedral built in 1860, it is the fourth church to be built on this site. It is an active church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend but is open to visitors who are attracted to the cathedral’s magnificent architecture and its significant collection of religious art and art glass.

Beautiful stained-glass windows were made at the Royal Bavarian Art Institute in Munich, Germany and installed in 1896. They depict scenes from Mary’s life. Famous hand-carved reredos in the sanctuary depict church history and the redemption of mankind. The figures placed in Gothic turrets are made in "grotesque Gothic" style. The Cathedral Museum has since been moved from the cathedral and is now located at the Archbishop Noll Catholic Center.
