St. Anne Catholic Church, Catholic church in Napoleonville, Louisiana.
St. Anne Catholic Church is a one-story church on a basilica plan with Romanesque influence, its gable front flanked by two towers, one dating to c.1920 in Colonial Revival style. Large round arch windows line the nave and chancel, topped by brick archivolts laid in corbelled concentric semicircles to suggest texture. It stands at 417 St. Joseph Street, about four blocks inland from Bayou Lafourche.
The building was constructed in 1909 and later added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The adjacent rectory dates from 1895 and the cemetery was established in 1874.
