Description
St. John’s Anglican Church is a large Gothic style church located in the centre of Old Town Lunenburg. Its style and location have made it a local landmark.
The construction of St. John’s Anglican Church began in 1754 and is the second oldest Anglican Church in Canada, being predated only by St. Paul’s Church in Halifax. As such, it had a significant role in the establishment of the Church of England in Nova Scotia. Since it was constructed as the same time the town was founded, it has served as the social and religious heart of the community for over two hundred years.
In 2001 the church suffered a devastating fire, a victim of arson. Over fifty percent of the historic fabric was lost. Following a four year detailed restoration the church was returned to its pre-fire appearance.
