The Friedensfeld Midlands Moravian Church and Manse are historic buildings in Christiansted, Saint Croix, Virgin Islands.
The present church building was built in 1854, replacing a structure that had been dedicated on February 12, 1819. The 4 acres (1.6 ha) property, with its two contributing buildings, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 1, 1976.[1] It has an associated cemetery.
The two-story church, with its central section about 55 by 77 feet (17 m × 23 m) in plan, was one of the largest wood-frame structures in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and was deemed to be "significant for its unusual combination of combination of Carpenter's Gothic and Classical Revival elements.[2]
The church may have been prefabricated in Germany and assembled by German craftsmen plus local builders.[2]
The manse building is about 70 by 42 feet (21 m × 13 m) in plan, and is connected to the church by a stone pathway. It was built in c.1810.[2]
