Wayfarers Chapel
Historic church in California, United States
About
Wayfarers Chapel, or "The Glass Church", is a disassembled chapel designed by Lloyd Wright and originally located in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. The chapel had unique organic architecture sited on a bluff above the Pacific Ocean. Affiliated with the Swedenborgian Church of North America, it served as a memorial to the 18th-century scientist and theosopher Emanuel Swedenborg. Built in 1949, the chapel was dismantled in 2024 and carefully stored after extreme earth movement had damaged the structure. In 2025, the chapel announced they were attempting to relocate to a new location in Rancho Palos Verdes.
