Waldensian Presbyterian Church
Waldensian Presbyterian Church, Religious building in Valdese, North Carolina, United States.
The Waldensian Presbyterian Church stands at 104 East Main Street, featuring Romanesque architectural elements with rounded arches and sturdy stone construction.
The church construction began in 1897 after twenty-nine Waldenses arrived from the Cottian Alps of Italy in 1893, establishing their settlement in Burke County.
The building reflects the architectural traditions of Waldensian churches from Italy and France, serving as a center for religious practices and community gatherings.
The church sanctuary remains open for visits upon request, with guided tours available through coordination with the adjacent Waldensian Heritage Museum.
The structure earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for its role in preserving Waldensian religious traditions in North Carolina.
