St Lukes Lutheran Church

Permanently closed
259 Washington Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11205

St. Luke's Evangelical Lutheran Church, established in 1869 by a group of German-speaking Christians in Brooklyn's Clinton Hill-Fort Greene community, served as a vital place of worship and education for over a century. The church, named after the Gospel writer St. Luke, transitioned through various locations and structures, ultimately settling in its Gothic-style building on Washington Avenue in 1895.

Throughout its history, St. Luke's was known for its commitment to community service, including the establishment of St. Luke's Academy, which provided affordable childcare and enrichment programs. Despite its rich heritage, the congregation faced decline, leading to the church's closure in 2015 and subsequent sale to a developer for condominium construction.
