Top 10 Churches & Cathedrals in Alaska, United States

May 13, 2022 Stefan Strunk

Alaska is divided into five regions: far north, interior, southwest, south central, and inside passage. Although it takes a long time to see the entire state, you can travel through the regions by boat, car, bus, or plane. Hike through the mountains, or venture out on a deep sea fishing or whale watching excursion. Get in touch with nature by camping in the wilderness, or experience your preferred degree of class and luxury in the beautiful, active cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks.

Transfiguration of Our Lord Church

Reviewed By poisonivy49 - Soldotna, United States

I was born and raised in Alaska, and this is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to! The church is on a place overlooking a quaint little village settled alongside the inlet. It makes you feel like you just stepped into a 19th-century novel! This is a great place to stop for a picnic, read a book, or peruse the gravestones. Locals might notice some familiar ancestral names. I would recommend going on a warm and sunny day (as we did) if possible, but I'm sure it will be enjoyable in other weather. Two things to note: First, visitors CANNOT enter the church itself. You can still go inside the churchyard, though! Second, there's a whole lot of cow parsnip growing across the road from it, so be careful! It's likely to cause a rash if it comes in contact with your skin. We found this out the hard way.

Saint Nicholas Chapel

Reviewed By JLWhedbee - Anchorage, United States

Sort of a nice historical “been there done that” stop but then having parked you can get a cup of coffee or tea and something to munch on at Veronica’s coffee house, Built in 1918 so you can soak up some history there as well. From the same parking lot you can also see the historic church across the street
