Historic St. George's Church

Historic St. George's Church St. George's is Cape Breton's oldest standing church. Built in 1785 by King George III. One of only three churches in North America holding a Royal Charter.

Built in 1785, St. George's Church is the oldest standing building in Sydney and the oldest church on Cape Breton Island. George's is a church of England with royal foundation and was originally built as a garrison church in what is now downtown Sydney.
