These 20 Churches in Missouri Will Leave You Absolutely Speechless (St. Louis Edition)

I was combing the internet for great pictures of churches, and I found SO many that I decided to focus this one a little and highlight those in St. Louis.  This doesn't mean there won't be another edition featuring other types of churches (you will notice these are mostly Catholic and pretty fancy), and different locations.  There are two churches below that might not seem to fit in.  See if you can figure out which ones and why.  I'll give you a hint, one is a lost landmark and the other, beautiful in its simplicity.

1. Immaculate Conception Church Lafayette at Longfellow St. Louis

2. St. Francis Xavier College Church

3. Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis

4. St. John Nepomuk Parish Historic District

5. Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral, St Louis

6. St. Louis Missouri Temple

7. Priory Chapel at Saint Louis Abbey

8. Centenary Methodist Church

9. Sts. Peter and Paul - Catholic Church

10. St. Louis Missouri Mormon Temple

11. Third Baptist

12. Bethlehem Lutheran Church, St. Louis City

13. St. Alphonsus Liguori Rock Catholic Church

14. St. Bridget of Erin Roman Catholic Church

15. Second Baptist Church St. Louis

16. Trinity Lutheran Church

17. St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church

18. Shrine of St. Joseph

19. 2nd Presbyterian Church, St. Louis

20. Grace Baptist Church

I included #12 because it is obvious it was once a very beautiful structure.  So sad that it went to ruin.  I'm not sure exactly why I connected to #20, except that sometimes beauty isn't obvious and in your face.  I haven't included addresses because I don't want to encourage vandalism, but if you want more information, just visit the website below each picture.  Do you know of any other St. Louis churches with gorgeous architecture?  What about throughout Missouri?  Share your comments below.
