Wonderful chapel, the glass is so clean, it appears as if there are no windows. Beautiful place to have a wedding, my son was married there 3 years ago. Schedule books up quickly and time is managed to manage the flow of wedding ceremonies.

You can visit Thorncrown Chapel in the Ozarks either for its spirituality or for its architecture. Feel free to try both. The chapel was designed by Fay Jones, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, and won several architecture awards. For architectural drawings, see http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Thorncrown_Chapel.html

My sisters were speechless at the beauty. It's a quiet, beautiful place for reflection. A nice walk through the trees in any season.
