Description:
Forming one end of the Grand Parade, this classic white Georgian building was the first Anglican cathedral established outside of England and is Canada's oldest Protestant place of worship. Part of the 1750 church was fabricated in Boston and erected in Halifax with the help of a royal endowment from King George II. A piece of flying debris from the explosion of 1917 is lodged in the wall over the doors to the nave. Just a quick drop in is enough to get a sense of the place, especially the fine stained-glass windows; take one of the summer-only guided tours if you want to see more.
