A historic landmark in Rancho Palos Verdes has closed, possibly for good, due to shifting and sliding land near the property.
Wayfarers Chapel, also known as “The Glass Church,” made the announcement Thursday.
“Effective immediately, we are extremely devastated to announce the closure of Wayfarers Chapel and its surrounding property due to the accelerated land movement in our local area,” a notice on the church’s website reads.
The popular wedding chapel stands among a crowd of trees that overlook Abalone Cove. It has hosted thousands of weddings, including celebrity’s, since it opened in 1951.
Actors Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay were married there in 1958 and Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame and Melinda Ledbetter tied the knot in 1995, according to the Los Angeles Times .
It’s also appeared in several film and television scenes, including “The O.C.,” “Beverly Hills 90210,” and “True Detective.”
Couples who have booked the church for their own nuptials are being told that event coordinators will be in contact to issue refunds.
