This church on the Kansas side of Kansas City is one of the most beautiful buildings in town. If you think the architecture isn't enough to claim that title, just wait until you see the inside.
This Roman Catholic cathedral was built in 1927 and became the Cathedral for the Archdiocese in 1947.

The striking Gothic Revival style sets it apart from other modern churches in the area. At 145 feet tall at its highest point, it's hard to miss.
While awe-inspiring from the outside, what lies inside is the best part of its beauty.
Archdiocese of Kansas City
It's been a church, a school, and a place for people to gather and celebrate for decades. I wonder how many have walked through these doors...
When you step inside, you're greeted with the most gorgeous sight. The Cathedral of St. Peter always immaculately decorated for every season and occasion.

The white of the altar and walls against the windows is a striking contrast, which only gets brighter once the sun shines through.
The Cathedral is also home to the Archbishop's cathedra (throne).
Archdiocese of Kansas City
The light coming through the stained glass is enough to leave anyone in awe. Each of these windows is a painting, and they surround you with beauty.
