This week, let’s take a look at the entrance to St. Saviour’s Anglican Church in Barkerville. It’s easily one of the most recognizable buildings in the historic gold rush town.
Built in 1868, the church is largely original and complete with its pews hand carved from local spruce trees.
Owned by the Diocese of Cariboo of the Anglican Church, you can still visit the church for (almost) daily services during the busy tourist season.
I’ll be back tomorrow with more on Barkerville. Until then..
Bonne journée!

Churches are always a perfect subject for doors. 👍🏼

I agree. Although I felt like I was cheating with this one a bit because the post is more about the church than its door. 😋

Does the scent of spruce linger like pine does? Just curious. Love your contribution!

First off, thank you! As for the smell, I can’t recall if there was anything distinctively “woody”. I guess I’ll have to pay closer attention next time I visit. 😊
