San Miguel Chapel, is a Spanish colonial mission church in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Originally built around 1610, it is often referred to as the oldest church building in the continental United States. The church was rebuilt twice, once in the mid to late 17th century, and again in 1710 following the Pueblo Revolt. In both cases earlier pieces of the building may have been reused, though it is unclear to what extent. The wooden reredos, which includes a wooden statue of Saint Michael dating back to at least 1709, was added in 1798.
The church is a contributing property in the Barrio De Analco Historic District, which is a U.S. National Historic Landmark.[3] As of 2020, weekly Mass is still offered at the chapel on the 1st Sunday of the month at 3pm.[4]
