St. John's Anglican Church

St. John's Anglican Church features a white wooden structure with Gothic elements, standing as the second oldest Protestant church in present-day Canada.

Built in 1753 during the French and Indian War, the church utilized wood from an older disassembled building and later underwent Gothic modifications in 1840.

The church includes a bell from Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London, crafted by the same manufacturers who created Big Ben and the Liberty Bell.

The church holds regular community gatherings, family activities, and guild meetings in the Parish Hall, maintaining an active role in local life.

Following a devastating fire in 2001, the church underwent complete restoration, including a blue dome adorned with stars representing the Lunenburg night sky.
