Chapel of the Holy Cross, 1956

Landmark #19

Chapel of the Holy Cross

The Chapel of the Holy Cross was designed and built by painter and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude in 1956. The Chapel was built directly into a rock butte and is distinguished by its most prominent feature - a 90-foot high cross that is architecturally integrated and seems to support the structure as it juts out from the rock. The Chapel is owned and maintained by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix and St. John Vianney Catholic Church of Sedona and is located on leased U.S. Forest Service land.
