Louisville Kentucky Temple

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Louisville Kentucky Temple is the 76th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is located in Crestwood, Kentucky, a suburb of Louisville.

President Thomas S. Monson, of the First Presidency of the Church, dedicated the Louisville Kentucky Temple on March 19, 2000. The dedication was held after a weeklong public open house.

The Louisville Kentucky temple has the same design as the other small temples being built around the world. The exterior is made of white marble quarried in Vermont and has a single-spire topped with a gold statue of the angel Moroni. It has a total floor area of 10,700 square feet, two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.
