Located in historic downtown Baton Rouge, St. Joseph Cathedral is the city's oldest Catholic church and a beautiful example of Gothic Revival architecture. The current church was built between 1853 and 1856 on the site of two earlier churches dating back to the Spanish Colonial period.
The parish was originally founded in 1792 as Nuestra Señora de los Dolores (Our Lady of Sorrows), and later took the name St. Joseph when English became the dominant language.
