St Paul’s Anglican Church, Halifax

An amazing experience with historical insights. Well worth the visit, and highly recommend to anyone with an inclination towards Nova Scotian / Canadian history. Beautiful architecture & Coat of Arms, can't say enough great things!

Super cool church with so much history. We got a tour by Peter and learned about the royal history and the explosion.

One of the oldest buildings in Nova Scotia, and one of the few remaining structures that survived after the Halifax explosion. This property holds both religious and historical value for visitors who come. Famous for the silhouette of a man on the upper floor window, I was a bit bummed that the upstairs was closed due to an event. But the general chapel area was open to the public, for free admission. The interior is very calm, clean, and lined with glass art windows on the walls. I recommend stopping here if you're ever in the Halifax area. It's worth visiting!

One of (if not THE oldest) churches in Canada. Still practicing with people coming here rach week. Was interested in going to see the silhouette n the window caused by Halifax Explosion. Also in the mean lobby, above the door, is a piece of metal lodged into the wall, also from the explosion. You can feel the history as you walk through the building.

A great piece of history. Thanks to the gentleman inside who walked us through some of the most interesting parts we learned so much. This is one of the oldest buildings in Halifax, and has some amazing ties to historical events. One of the original stained glass windows remains in the church — see if you can find it. The rest were blown out during the Halifax explosion. As you enter the church look up and you'll see a piece of steel that ended up embedded in the church wall. There are two grave markings that date back to the 1770s. This cathedral / church is unique in that it has a pew at the front that is dedicated to the royal family, should they come to visit. Lastly there's some photos at the back of the church as you enter and scans of a pamphlet for a service held for the victims of the titanic. Go check it out!

Beautiful Historic Anglican church in the middle of downtown Halifax. The church is in Grand Parade, so if you're in the city it is impossible to miss. It is generally open to the public and does have informative tours that can further explain the church, or you're free to roam yourself. It is accessible and I would think anyone with mobility issue or aids would be able to access the church. There is an upstairs but it isnt open to the public. Ask about the ghost story!

A really interesting piece of religious architecture. This is a really imposing site that is fascinating to walk around and explore the history of the city.

Quiet, yet screaming with stories to be told. This quaint chapel still has evident scars from the Halifax Explosion of 1917. Worth the stop if you are in the downtown area.
