COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the location and design for its new temple, set to be built in Coeur d’Alene.
The nearly 30,000 square-foot, single-story temple will stand on roughly 10 acres near Hanley Avenue and Coeur Terre Boulevard in CDA.
The site will also include a meetinghouse and an accompanying ancillary building.
Plans for the CDA temple were first announced in October 2024.
According to The Church, more than 480,000 Latter-day Saints live in Idaho in nearly 1,300 congregations.
Additional temples have also been announced, are under construction or are in operation across Idaho in Boise, Burley, Caldwell, Idaho Falls, Meridian, Montpelier, Pocatello, Rexburg, Teton River and Twin Falls.
“The announcement of the location and rendering of the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho Temple is a joyful moment for both Latter-day Saints and our friends and neighbors throughout the area,” said Elder Hal C. Hunsaker, of Area Seventy.
Once completed, the temple will be open to the community for tours during a public open house.
No expected completion time for the temple’s construction has been provided.
