Historic Trinity Lutheran Church
Lutheran church
👍👍 I did not attend a service here, I went to see the church. This church is very old and if you are interested in seeing old churches this is one you should stop and look at. They have tours around Christmas time so I highly recommend you check that out.

Tourist attraction
👍👍 Wow. We had so much fun. I highly recommend it. It's safe and you get to see parts of the city that cars can't even get to. It was the most fun I've had in Detroit besides a good concert. I'm going back for another tour of another part of the city. Our guide was amazing also.

👍👍 I had Jury duty and used the parking lot at this church. Jury duty lasted 5 days. $20 a day was pricey, the Jury paper stated juyers would get discounted parking at this lot.

Mariners' Church
Anglican church
👍👍 Mariners' Church of Detroit is a stalwart of tradition, but without the brow beating. Entering the foyer, you are elevated from the hustle and bustle of the street, and once the organ starts and the choir sings you are transported to another dimension altogether. Mariners' Church is an independent...

Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument
Historical landmark
👍👍 It’s simply amazing that we still have this beautiful monument and these sculptures. It was made in 1872 and re-dedicated in 2005 to commemorate the Michigan War Dead. It makes Campus Martius and downtown Detroit that much better for being present in our city. Best way to get to it is to walk as the...
