St. Mark's Church in‑the‑Bowery and the Stuyvesant vault

St. Mark's Church in‑the‑Bowery occupies part of the former Stuyvesant family estate and incorporates the Stuyvesant family burial vault and cemetery within its grounds. The church, with a building dating to the 1790s on property associated with Peter Stuyvesant, is frequently cited in accounts of New York colonial-era history and local lore about the city's Dutch past. The presence of the family vault and the church's continuity on that site are documented by church records and historic surveys.
