it was made in France over four hundred years ago, was saved by peasants during the French Revolution and was once covered in pure gold.

The oldest church in Saskatchewan is the Holy Trinity Anglican Church at Stanley Mission built over 160 years ago with construction starting from 1854 to 1860. Many items such as the stained glass were transported from England taking four years for the windows to arrive. The church also includes an elaborate 23-meter spire and its 37 Gothic-style windows contain more than 1,000 pieces of stained glass.

When Rev. Robert Hunt departed England in 1849 to establish an Anglican mission in Northern Saskatchewan, he left prepared to build a large church and brought with him hinges, latches, locks, window frames, stained glass and other materials that remain there to this day. Most of the other materials used were local as boards were whipsawn by hand from local hardwood logs by carpenters. It is a Gothic Revival-style church featuring post and beam construction.

The Holy Trinity Anglican Church is the oldest standing building in Saskatchewan and became a National Historic Site of Canada in 1970.
