St. Mary's Seminary Chapel, located at 600 North Paca Street in Baltimore, Maryland, is the oldest Neo-Gothic style church in the United States. It was built from 1806 through 1808 by French architect Maximilian Godefroy for the French Sulpician priests of St. Mary's Seminary. Godefroy claimed that his design was the first Gothic building in America.
St. Mary's Seminary (now St. Mary's Seminary and University), founded in 1791, is the oldest Catholic seminary in the United States. Godefroy also designed the First Unitarian Church in Baltimore. It is located adjacent to the Mother Seton House.
