St. Andrew's Kirk
A white church built in 1818, one of the oldest surviving church buildings in Guyana.
St. Andrew's Kirk was begun late in the Dutch colonial period and completed by the Scottish Presbyterians in 1818. Its white exterior and square bell tower are simple and elegant. It was also one of the early churches to welcome enslaved Africans to worship, and it carries the weight of the colonial past. The church stands on Avenue of the Republic, a few steps from City Hall and Stabroek Market. Most visitors pass by to take photos, and you can go inside during services.
