Wayfarers Chapel in Los Angeles Closes Indefinitely Due to Landslide Risk

The iconic 'glass church,' recently designated a national historic landmark, shuts its doors amid fears of accelerated land movement in the area.

  • The Wayfarers Chapel, known for its glass walls and mid-century design by Lloyd Wright, has been closed indefinitely due to increased land movement.
  • Recent heavy rains have exacerbated the landslide risk in the Rancho Palos Verdes area, leading to the chapel's closure.
  • The chapel, a popular wedding venue and tourist attraction, was designated a national historic landmark just two months ago.
  • City officials and the chapel's board of directors are exploring ways to safely reopen the chapel to the public.
  • Refunds will be issued to those with confirmed reservations, leaving many couples scrambling to find alternative wedding venues.
