Thorncrown Chapel

This chapel is nestled in the woodlands of the Ozark Hills. This was one man's (Jim Reed) dream come true in 1980.

This chapel contains 425 windows and over 6,000 square feet of glass and it is 48 feet high.  It sits over 100 tons of stone and colored flagstone. 

The design is very simple but it is known to be "one of the finest religious spaces of modern time".  Sitting in the chapel, looking out the glass windows, you feels such peace and tranquility.  It is an awesome place to visit.
