Saint George’s church, Anglican church in Cannes, France

Saint George’s Church is a former Anglican church in Cannes, France, built in the Gothic Revival style. It has a nave with two bays, side aisles, a flat-ended choir, and a bell tower with a polygonal spire, with walls of pink sandstone and white limestone.

The church was built in 1886 in memory of Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, son of Queen Victoria, who died in Cannes in 1884. It was consecrated in 1887 and later sold to the city of Cannes in 1970, becoming a Roman Catholic church in 1974.

The church is dedicated to Saint George, and a statue of him by F. W. Pomeroy stands above the entrance. Inside, the chapel of Albany contains a recumbent effigy of the Duke of Albany, sculpted by Ernest Pellegrini, which was inaugurated in 1890.

The church is located on Avenue du Roi Albert Ier in the Californie-Pezou district, set back from the street behind a garden with palm trees. Visitors can enter through the iron gate and explore the interior, which includes a memorial chapel and a statue of Saint George above the entrance.

The church organ, though bearing the mark of Goll and Cie of Lucerne, is believed to be an English Willis organ that was taken over by Goll in 1908. The church also houses the Serbian Orthodox parish of Saint Thomas.
