Église catholique Sainte-Marie

This church is definitely a destination visit. What an accomplishment! The magnitude of this gigantic and ornate construction of this wooden church can not be simulated by photos!! The only way to achieve the full emotional experience . . . is to be there in person. Just amazing!

Beautiful outside, This place is like a Disney castle church! Largest wooden church in North America. Too bad the inside is not open. Someone needs to donate a whole boatload of money to renovate this thing.

The world’s largest wooden church! It truly is a site to see! We haven’t been around at the right time for a tour but will soon. I hope funding can be raised for repairs and that she is around for many years to come!

A wonderful place to visit!
I would love to see a mass here but went during museum hours.
It costs $2 to enter, but I would urge you to upgrade that to a bill if you're able.
If you're a history buff, Catholic, spiritual, or just like pretty things, this place will interest you! Every thing has a brief but informative description: From stained glass, to statues, relics (one from the cross!), and many other things used in the former Catholic Latin Mass. (if you're a Catholic Traditionalist, this is your Nova Scotian Graceland.)
When you're close, you'll see the steeple before you see the church and it is astounding. You won't understand how high the church is until you see it.
A must visit.

This has to one of the nicest places I have visited. This is a good indicator of how close this area is to its people. Remember to bring some sun flower seeds to feed the bird often right in your hand.

It's like being in Europe. Very unique place, worth visiting.

We stopped by here and visited the cemetery behind the church. More for research of some of the same names as is in our family in South Louisiana.

This is a beautiful building. It's a shame that power lines ruined the exterior view, so I spent some time and removed them.

Amazing! ... the largest wooden church in North America. A historical place of worship, the church, with its steeple rising 56.4 m (185 feet) above the ground. Built over a period of two years, from 1903 to 1905, by 1500 volunteers under the supervision of a master carpenter who could neither read nor write, it features large columns which are actually complete 20 m (70ft) tall tree trunks. The tall steeple is anchored down using 40 tons of rocks and contains 3 large bells with a combined weight of almost 2 tons.

Saint Mary's Church is the largest wooden church in North America. Located in Church Point in the Yarmouth and Acadian Shores region, this building was constructed over a two-year period from 1903 to 1905.

The oldest wooden church in North America. In a French Acadian community.

This Church is warm to my heart because my great great grandfather built it...this is a man who couldnt read or write..and the amazing work he did and the beauty he gave her is remarkable...Leo Melanson gave our community a beautiful historic Church...

Heartbreaking that this amazing historic landmark has been let fall to ruin. Five stars for it's historic significance and former magnificence.

Very beautiful to visit ..1500 volunteers to build this church from 1903 - 1905

So beautiful ❣ We enjoyed our time here. Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Great place to visit. It's the oldest wooden church in North America.

Very beautiful. A must see. The history is interesting.

It's a cemetery, not quite sure what else to say about it...lol

Heartbreaking the this beautiful, ornate yet austere, building is falling into disrepair.

Said to be one of the largest wooden churches in North America.
