The All Souls Church was built by railroad baron George Washington Vanderbilt II in 1896 to serve as the local parish church for Biltmore Village. It is located opposite the train depot in Biltmore Village. The church was designed as a Romanesque Revival church.

Originally, all the windows were mouth blown, hand leaded translucent glass such as those seen today in the Parish Hall.  The pulpit, lectern, high altar, bishop's chair, chancel furniture, pews, and kneeling cushions are all original.

All Souls Church has some beautiful stained glass windows depicting scenes from the Bible.

On January 1, 1995, All Souls became the first Cathedral for The Diocese of Western North Carolina.
