St. James Anglican Church

St. James' Anglican Church in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, is an iconic landmark renowned for its stunning High Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. Built between 1885 and 1887, the church features a soaring 30-meter steeple, intricate woodwork, and beautifully preserved stained glass. Its acoustically rich interior and striking color scheme make it a standout among Mahone Bay’s famous "Three Churches." Beyond its architectural beauty, St. James' remains an active congregation, hosting worship services, community outreach programs, and the beloved "Music at the Three Churches" concert series.

While the church is widely admired, some visitors have noted that certain areas could benefit from modernization to enhance comfort and accessibility.
