Concordia Seminary, one of two seminaries training pastors, deaconesses, and scholars for the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, was founded in 1839 by a group of emigrants from Saxony, Germany. Originally meeting in a one-room log cabin in Perry County, Missouri (a replica of the cabin stands on the campus today), the seminary moved to St. Louis in 1849, and relocated again in 1926 from its South Jefferson Avenue location to the current 72-acre campus in suburban Clayton. The distinctive collegiate Gothic architecture of the current campus won national recognition when it opened. Luther Tower, part of the original blueprints but not added until 1966, houses the largest carillon west of the Mississippi River, with 49 bells. A new chapel, dedicated in 1990, marries the older architectural style with the sensibilities of a new generation. Every June a Tuesday evening carillon concert series rings out across the campus and surrounding neighborhood. The seminary also contributes to the artistic life of greater St. Louis with its annual Bach at the Sem series of concerts and an art gallery on the upper floor of the seminary library. Spacious Concordia Park, with the Martin Luther statue at the top of its long hillside slope, is shared by the seminary community and local residents alike. Since its inception, Concordia Seminary has provided more than 12,000 professional workers in the church. More information can be found at www.csl.edu.
The Luther Chapel, completed in 1966, was designed by architect Charles Klauder and is an outstanding example of collegiate Gothic style seen elsewhere on the campus.
The 1938 cabin is a replica of the original seminary cabin which still stands in Altenburg, Perry County Missouri.
The Chapel of St Timothy and St Titus is located just west of the quad.
