Landmark Churches

Two beautiful old churches can be found in the LaSalle Park Neighborhood. One of them Saint Vincent DePaul Catholic Church was founded in 1841. The church was designed by local architect Meriwether Lewis Clark, Sr., son of famed explorer William Clark, and the building was completed in 1843. Saint Vincent DePaul is designated as a City Landmark. The other church is Saint John Nepomuk Catholic Church which was built by the first Bohemian parish in the United States and founded in 1854. The present church on South 11th Street was completed in 1895 but had to be rebuilt in late 1897 after the 1896 St. Louis tornado destroyed most of it, just one year after completion! It is a City Landmark and the six buildings that surround the church make up the St. John Nepomuk Parish District that is on the National Register of Historic Places.
