Bahai Temple of Chicago - Lesser Known Attraction of Chicago | Bahai House of Worship in Illinois

The Bahai Temple of Chicago is one of the many beautiful bahai temples in the world. Known as the Bahai House of Worship, this temple is a place of solitude and calm away from the bustling Chicago city.

Nestled on the shores of Lake Michigan, the Bahai temple of Chicago is famous as a place of worship and for its breathtaking design elements. I tried to capture some of its architectural elements in this video, but in person, it really is a sight to behold! Gleaming white stone with nurturing gardens and dancing fountains around its nine-faced structure, the Bahai temple of Chicago (and those around the world) is an iconic image in the minds of architecture buffs.

The Bahai House of Worship invites people of all faiths inside and you are free to tour it and explore inside, except when there’s a religious ritual taking place. There’s also an office space next to the temple where you can learn about the bahai sect.

This is the only bahai temple in North America. And as I learnt, there are just a hand few of them around the world, each one with its own unique yet beautiful design and location.

One of the lesser known attractions of Chicago, this bahai temple is worth the drive (the drive in itself is scenic – along the sides of Lake Michigan).

Find the Bahai House of Worship at: 100 Linden Ave, Wilmette, IL 60091
