Welcome

Welcome to Moravian Church Settlements, a UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of four congregation towns established in the 18th century — based on the Moravian concept of an ideal city. 

The settlements, including Bethlehem (Pennsylvania, USA), Christiansfeld (Denmark), Gracehill (Northern Ireland/UK), and Herrnhut (Saxony/Germany) are outstanding examples of the diaspora of a small Protestant denomination and its influence across the globe. The Moravian Church, also known as the Unitas Fratrum, was founded in 1457 in Central Europe and is considered one of the oldest Protestant denominations.

Moravian Church Settlements in Bethlehem, Gracehill, and Herrnhut are an extension of Christiansfeld — a Moravian Church Settlement inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2015.

Join us and discover more about these remarkable Moravian Church Settlements and gain an appreciation for their historic innovations and achievements. Their living legacy provides meaningful lessons in inclusion, community building, and faith.
