Cathedral Church of All Saints, Anglican cathedral in Charlotte Amalie, United States Virgin Islands.
The Cathedral Church of All Saints is an Anglican cathedral in Charlotte Amalie featuring Gothic Revival design with pointed arches and stone construction. The building combines a square meeting house layout with Gothic elements and includes a semi-octagonal chancel that visually separates the altar area from the main congregation space.
The cathedral was founded in 1848 shortly after emancipation from slavery in the Danish West Indies. Its construction used yellow bricks that originally served as ballast in sailing ships, repurposing materials from the island's maritime past.
This cathedral serves as the spiritual center for Anglican congregations across both the US and British Virgin Islands and remains deeply rooted in the island's religious identity. The building reflects the faith and unity of people who have gathered here for generations.
The cathedral is located at 3 Domini Gade in the heart of Charlotte Amalie within walking distance of other historic sites. Since regular services are held throughout the week, visitors should check ahead to find times when the building is open for viewing.
The building was constructed from yellow bricks salvaged from ships that carried them as ballast, creating a direct link to the island's seafaring history. This choice of materials means the cathedral literally stands on the island's maritime past.
