As soon as I heard this was modeled after St. Mark's in Venice I knew I had to check it out. It is worth the visit! Lovely inside, and so well maintained. The docent on duty was very well informed and available for questions. Kids liked it too.

This is such a beautiful place of worship and awe inspiring. It is quite a sight to see how the church expanded from the original building and how the congregation grew over the years. Equally wonderful is the fact that the church maintains the Hugenot Cemetary in town.

Impressive architecture both inside and out. A docent was available for questions. He told us that everything in the church is pretty much original. Just as Flagler College, each tile was hand cut and individually placed - these were made in Italy. Flagler is more impressive in extravagence but the church is FREE, so make sure you stop by and...

This amazing building has great architecture and fantastic craftsmanship like many of the buildings Flagler was involved in. The woodwork alone is worth the visit.

Pretty unbelievable that this magnificent church was built in under one year. The architecture of Carrerre and Hastings is spectacular.

Beautiful expression of his devotion to his daughter. Some of the prettiest stained glass windows I've ever seen and the mahogany wood and ceilings are so rich.

After touring Flagler College (excellent) we wanted to see his church that all the tour guides talk about. A real beauty on the outside, it has some very nice elements inside. This is not an ornate church. The stained glass is pretty and colorful, but modest (and not Tiffany). The light fixtures and mahogany pews were notable. Seeing the Flagler... More
