Description
English:

A snow covered church burial ground. A brick church with a red door and wooden steeple in the distance.

Gloria Dei (Old Swedes') Church was built between 1698 and 1700 as a Lutheran Church for Swedish colonists. Their first place of worship had been a log structure built in 1677 and located elsewhere, when the colony was under Dutch control. The Swedish Church continued to thrive after William Penn's 1701 Charter of Privileges which allowed for freedom of worship. Almost 150 years later, in 1845, it became an Episcopal church.
