Prince Frederick's Chapel Ruins
Prince Frederick's Chapel Ruins, Gothic Revival chapel ruins in Plantersville, South Carolina.
The remaining front wall and tower of Prince Frederick's Chapel stand as remnants of a rectangular structure with narrow arched windows and buttressed walls.
Construction of the chapel began in 1859 but faced interruption during the Civil War, leading to its completion in 1876 with a monetary gift of $1,700.
The congregation consisted primarily of rice planters along the Pee Dee River, reflecting the agricultural economy of nineteenth-century South Carolina.
The ruins occupy 1.5 acres southeast of Plantersville on County Road 52, with limited access due to private property restrictions.
Three of the four original walls were intentionally demolished in 1966 for safety reasons, preserving only the front façade and tower sections.
