The Louisville Kentucky Temple proudly stands as the 76th dedicated temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The temple was officially announced on March 17, 1999, and groundbreaking occurred shortly thereafter on May 29, 1999, led by Elder John K. Carmack of the Seventy.
This magnificent temple opened its doors for public viewing during an open house from March 4 to March 11, 2000, and was dedicated on March 19, 2000. At that time, Thomas S. Monson, an Apostle, performed the dedication, while Gordon B. Hinckley held the position of the church’s prophet.
Situated on a 3-acre site, the Louisville Kentucky Temple is adorned with an exterior crafted from exquisite imperial Danby marble, sourced from Vermont. Its architectural design features a striking single spire topped with a gold-leafed Angel Moroni, making it a distinguished symbol in the area.
Inside, the temple boasts two instruction rooms, two sealing rooms, and one baptistry, all within an expansive total of 10,700 square feet. Complementing the temple, a meetinghouse is conveniently located in the same parking lot, enhancing community resources. At an elevation of 785 feet, the Louisville Kentucky Temple is not only a place of worship but also a prominent landmark in the region.
