Saint Andrew's Kirk, Georgetown

St. Andrews Kirk is located on Brickdam avenue and opposite the Parliament Buildings. It is widely considered to be the oldest building in Georgetown that was in continuous use for religious purposes. The building had roots in 1811 with the Dutch Reformed Church of Holland and for financial reasons was transferred to the Scottish Presbyterians and opened on 28th February 1818. Slaves were allowed to worship at this church. The image shows the St. Andrews Kirk church in British Guiana.
