Peter Stuyvesant's Tomb at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery

Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch Director-General of New Netherland, is interred in the family vault at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery; the church stands on land associated with the Stuyvesant family estate. The churchyard contains his cast-iron tomb and other burials of the Stuyvesant family dating to the 17th and 18th centuries. The church and its churchyard are documented sites in colonial New York history and are interpreted for visitors interested in early New Amsterdam and colonial-era figures.
