The St. Louis Missouri Temple is the 50th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It is located in Town and Country, Missouri,[1] a St. Louis suburb.

History

LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley broke ground for the temple on October 30, 1993.[2] A public open house was held April 26 – May 17, 1997.[3][4][5] The temple was dedicated on June 1, 1997.[6][7]

The temple has a total of 58,749 square feet (5,458.0 m2), four ordinance rooms, and four sealing rooms. It has a white granite exterior and a 150-foot (46 m) spire topped with a gold-leafed statue of the angel Moroni, which stands at approximately 8.5-foot (2.6 m).
