Gargoyles, Grotesques & Dragons Tour

Discover Milwaukee's buildings feature many "faces" that appear on churches to remind people of another world of monsters, demons and strange beasts waiting for sinners. Led by knowledgeable volunteer docents, the 1.6-mile tour brings these sculpted figures to life, revealing their symbolic meanings and the craftsmanship behind them. Stroll through downtown Milwaukee and enjoy close-up views of whimsical, frightening and angelic details that decorate historic churches and buildings. The leisurely pace and storytelling make this an engaging outing for architecture lovers and curious visitors alike.

We recommend bringing your binoculars!
