St Michael's Church
St. Michael’s Church is Charleston’s oldest surviving church and one of the finest examples of Colonial American ecclesiastical architecture. Constructed between 1752 and 1761, St. Michael’s Church was built to serve the southern half of Charleston. The church played a significant role during the American Revolution, with its steeple serving as a navigational landmark and observation post. During the Civil War, the church was damaged by Federal shelling, and its bells were sent to Columbia for safekeeping, where they were cracked in a fire.
