Description

A beautiful brick structure in the charming St.Francisville Historic District, Grace Church
is the second oldest Episcopal church in Louisiana.

The church has been active since it was first organized on March 15, 1827. In 1858, however, the building took on its present form when Bishop Leonidas Polk, who would
soon become the "FIghting Bishop" of the Confederacy, laid the cornerstone for the unique Gothic structure.

Grace Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church located at St. Francisville, West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. The congregation was organized in 1827. The present church was completed in 1860, but it was heavily damaged by Union gunboats in 1863, during the Civil War.

The current appearance of the church dates to its repair and rebuilding in 1893. The organ dates to 1860. The church is one of the state's oldest Protestant churches.
