St. Louis Front Page

Bardford pear trees bloom near the Trinity Lutheran Church, at Eighth and Soulard Streets, just south of Soulard Market.

Soulard is a diverse historic community, just south of downtown St. Louis, is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city with homes dating from the mid to late 1800s. The area is named for the Frenchman who surveyed the area for the King of Spain. It features beautifully restored 19th-century red brick Victorian and Federal-style townhouses. Quaint row and alley houses create picturesque streetscapes. The Soulard Farmer's Market, one of the few remaining open-air markets in the country, sells fresh produce, meats, bakery goods and flowers.

Just south of the market is the Trinity Lutheran Church at Eighth and Soulard Streets. The original church, built in 1865, was destroyed by the 1896 tornado which roared through Soulard, destroying numerous homes, churches and businesses. The church was rebuilt by its German congregation into its present majestic structure.

Events such as the annual Bastille Day celebration in July, Soulard Mardi Gras activities in February and Soulard Oktoberfest in October bring thousands of people into this lively ethnic neighborhood. Visitors can enjoy the unique blues music clubs, pubs and fine restaurants and outdoor cafes.
