Aquia Church, Episcopal church in Stafford County, United States
The church structure follows a Greek cross plan with brick walls in Flemish bond pattern and features sandstone trim elements and a square tower.
Built in 1751 and rebuilt in 1757 after a fire, Aquia Church received National Historic Landmark designation in 1991 for its architectural significance.
The interior contains original colonial woodwork, including a three-tiered pulpit and an altarpiece that represent the finest craftsmanship of Virginia's colonial period.
Located at 2938 Richmond Highway at the intersection of US Route 1 and State Route 610, the church offers guided tours upon contact.
The church structure incorporates Aquia sandstone quarried locally, which was later used in the construction of the United States Capitol and White House.
