Huguenot Church, Gothic Revival church in Charleston, United States.

The Huguenot Church at 136 Church Street is a stuccoed brick Gothic Revival church, three bays wide and six bays long, designed by Edward Brickell White and built in 1844 by contractor Ephraim Curtis. Its steep gabled front has a pointed-arch doorway with a trefoil above and two tall pointed-arch windows with dark tracery; narrow buttresses topped with pinnacles divide the bays, and a battlement parapet runs along the roofline. Inside, plaster ribbed vaulting covers the walls, which carry marble tablets etched with Huguenot family names.

Built in 1844 by architect Edward Brickell White, this church replaced an earlier structure that sheltered French Protestant refugees from persecution. It was established to provide a place of worship for Huguenots who had fled religious intolerance in France.

The church's name comes from the Huguenots, French Calvinists who fled persecution after Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes in 1685. Since 1950 an annual April service has included French liturgical readings, marking the Edict's adoption in April 1598. Regular services follow 18th-century French liturgy in English, and marble tablets inside list Huguenot family names.

A sign on the wrought-iron fence reads "NO TRESPASSING", so view the 1844 facade from Church Street rather than entering the gate. Regular services are held in English, with an annual French-language service each April marking the Edict of Nantes. The church stands at 136 Church Street in the French Quarter, a short walk from the waterfront.

This is the only independent Huguenot congregation in the United States, with a cemetery preserving graves from the 18th century. These burial sites document the presence of French Protestants in Charleston across multiple generations.
