You will NOT believe the architecture on this Fairhaven church. Most Thursday afternoons, they give free guided tours inside. Absolutely amazing and stunning. Even if not open, take time to check out the gargoyles and doors from outside!

I'm not religious, but I do appreciate a beautiful church. Fairhaven is blessed to have had a benefactor back in the whaling days that gifted the town so many beautiful buildings- definitely worth a look!

Both the outside and inside of this church are gorgeous! Built over 100 years ago by a philanthropist in the area, the church was built and crafted by artisans from Europe when there was a recession and he brought them here to work and create a beautiful house of worship.
