Visit Us

Welcome to your National Cathedral!

Whether you’re a Cathedral regular or this is your first visit, we’re excited to welcome you to discover something new. It is our prayer that you feel welcome here and can see a piece of yourself in this house of prayer for all people.
Everything about this Cathedral invites us to reflect on something greater than ourselves: our story as a nation, our call to service, and our walk with our Creator.
We’re so glad you’re here, and look forward to welcoming you again soon!
The Very Rev. Randy Hollerith
Dean, Washington National Cathedral

Every brick added helps build our LEGO brick replica AND restore the real Cathedral! At $2 per brick, all proceeds will help fund the remaining $19 million in repairs still needed to fix damage from the 2011 earthquake.

Visitors can view and buy bricks for the model, located in the main (nave) level gift shop during regular touring hours.
