Sacred Heart Cultural Center, Cultural center in Augusta, United States.

The Sacred Heart Cultural Center is a former Catholic church built of brick in a cruciform Romanesque plan, with round towers topped by conical spires and three stone arches framing the main entrances. Its walls hold 94 stained glass windows from Munich, six rose windows at the transept ends, an Italian marble high altar in the apse and two side altars in the transept. The nave has a barrel vault ceiling and a small dome crowns the crossing.

Father Theodore Bulter acquired the land in 1874, and Jesuit priests led the new parish. Construction of the permanent church began in 1897, and the first mass was held on December 2, 1900. The church closed in 1971 after 70 years, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and the Knox Foundation renovated it in 1987.

The former church now hosts wine festivals, choral concerts, Christmas events and an annual garden festival. Artwork is shown regularly in the Art Gallery, and the former rectory and school building house non-profit organizations and arts groups.

The former rectory and school building beside the church now house non-profit organizations and arts groups, so parts of the complex are working offices rather than open exhibits. The Art Gallery mounts rotating exhibitions, and the main hall is used for ticketed events such as wine festivals, choral concerts and the annual garden festival, so check what is scheduled before planning a visit.

The building reflects German architectural influence, visible in its decorative details and craftsmanship choices made during construction. The selection of stained glass windows sourced from Munich demonstrates the strong cultural connections between Augusta and European art centers around 1900.
