The Little-Known Church Hiding In Georgia That Is An Absolute Work Of Art
There’s no shortage of beautiful churches in Georgia. We’ve got plenty of historical ones in small towns that show off amazing architectural brilliance, and it doesn’t get much more beautiful than the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist in Savannah. One under-appreciated church that we think doesn’t gets enough love is the stunning Christ Church Episcopal on St. Simon’s Island. Even if you aren’t particularly religious, there’s something incredible about this building that gives visitors a sense of peace and tranquility when on the premises.
St. Simons Island is among the most beautiful of the barrier islands in Georgia. It's home to many attractions, and one of the loveliest is Christ Church.
The mission was founded in 1736 and its first building was constructed in 1820. St. Simons Island was evacuated during the Civil War and Union troops occupied the island. Sadly, the original church was destroyed in 1862.
The incredible natural surroundings, gorgeous historic building, and colorful stained glass windows all combine to make this one of the prettiest churches in Georgia.
For more information about this stunning church in Georgia, check out the Christ Church Frederica website. There are tours available during the week if you’re interested in seeing the church but don’t want to attend a sermon.
