Moody Church, USA
From series “Monuments of Byzantium: the most famous buildings”Year: 19 century.
Moody Church is a real Chicago landmark. It is named after its founder. Dwight L. Moody came to Chicago from Boston in 1856. He was an ordinary shoemaker. However, he became known around the world as a religious preacher. Moody was the founder of several religious schools. The number of his followers became so large over time that it required the construction of a permanent building. So a beautiful Byzantine-style church appeared in Chicago. The Sunday school continues to operate there even today.
The school, located in an ancient church, is one of the largest in the country today. Adults and children who want to study the Bible can attend it. Many preachers who became famous later studied at this school. The religious monument attracts travelers with its special architecture, as well as unique interior design. Both the exterior of the church and its interior has remained virtually unchanged since its construction.
