A Tour of the Frankfurt Temple Grounds!

We have taken several pictures of the temple and would like to share them with you.

The Temple and Grounds with the first snowstorm of the season.











Inside the Annex is a large picture of the Christus. This is a favorite place to take pictures.

Outside the Annex




Autumn at the Temple
Yep! It gets very very cold! This is really Autumn, but the way we were dressed you would think it was winter--and it certainly felt like Winter.


Summer at the Temple


Note the Angel Moroni just to the right of the center of the picture!
The Temple Parking Lot


We met the Stoja Family while at the temple. They are from Albania and it was wonderful to meet them and get to know them.


Karen with other Temple Missionaries






Spring at the Temple
Annex of the Temple
Hostel where the people that come to the temple can stay for a reasonable price. However, it is mostly dormitory style living.
This is the Villa. The President of the temple has an apartment in this Villa and the two counselors and their wives also have apartments in the Villa. We have some meetings and gatherings here. This is a historic building and when the land was purchased for the temple, the city would only let the land be purchased if the Villa was kept on the property. It hadn't been occupied for several years and had to have major restoration done to preserve it. It is a beautiful landmark beside the temple.
This is the Chapel that is on the temple property.
These last two pictures were taken when we were here with the Humanitarian Missionaries about eight years ago--while we were serving in Albania.


We hope that you enjoyed our tour of the temple grounds.
