Grounded in rich history, The Transept carries great significance for Cincinnati. As it formerly stood, Old St. John’s was the first German-American congregation in Cincinnati. Built in 1867, the architecture boasts German Gothic design complete with stained glass, 50-foot vaulted ceilings, and ornate details. The combination of stunning design, classical significance, and reimagined purpose will give those who experience The Transept a truly unforgettable experience.
