"When its white dome first swims into view there is a shock of surprise, then a rapidly growing delight in its pure beauty, and as one studies the building, inside and out, the surprise and delight increase. One leaves it with regret and with the hope of return." -Kenyon Cox, Architectural Record, August 1905
The Minnesota State Capitol Building in Saint Paul celebrated its centennial in 2005 It is without doubt one of the most beautiful and impressive structures in all of Minnesota. The capitol is a "must see" for it's historic and acrhitectural interest as well as being the seat of government for the state.
Guided tours are available on the hour. The last tour begins one hour before closing. Those who prefer may take their own self guided tour. We took our own tour, accidently got lost, and saw parts of the Capitol that are normally off limits to visitors.
