Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
The Cathedral was built in 1853 and its blessing and first mass in the new cathedral were celebrated on Christmas Day of that year. Its spire remains one of the highest points in the city equal to some 300 feet above sea level and its organ, one of the largest in Saint John, has some 3,000 pipes, the largest of which is 16 feet and the shortest less than an inch.
Church of St. Andrew & St. David This church was built soon after the Great Fire of 1877. After the Great Fire, the people of the church gathered the bricks from the rubble of the Victoria Hotel that was next to the church. Thus, the sides and back of the church are brick, while the front is local limestone. The pulpit was carved by John Rogerson who also carved the figure head on the historic Marco Polo. This is a provincial historic site.
St. George's Church
Built in 1821 with lumber from adjacent King Square, St. George's is the oldest church building in Saint John. Its 1890 tower features the city's only mechanically driven pendulum clock.
St. John's Anglican (Stone) Church
St. John's (Stone) Church, is a "daughter" to Trinity Church, the city's first Anglican church. Completed in 1825 it was among the first stone structures in Saint John. The building's stone had been used as ballast on ships on their return voyages from England. This is a national historic site.
St. Luke's Church National Historic Site
St. Luke's Church is built around 1831 on a hillside at Gondola Point where it could be seen from the Kennebecasis River. Its arched ceiling looks like the inverted hull of a ship complete with wooden pegs, complex joinery and nailing dogs, and huge iron bar supports.
Trinity Church
Built in 1880, the present Trinity Church replaced Old Trinity, a wooden structure which was built in 1791 and was destroyed in the Great Fire. On prominent display inside the church is the Royal Coat of Arms of the House of Hanover, probably dating to the reign of George I, who became King of England in 1714.
