Little Dutch Church, first Lutheran church in Canada 1754-1755, Halifax, Nova Scotia, CanadaIn the struggle for supremacy in Nova Scotia between France and England, Governor Edward Cornwallis recruited “Foreign Protestants” from Germany, Switzerland, France and the district of Montbéliard to come to Halifax in 1750 to counter the influence of the French and the Catholics in Nova Scotia. The group of Germans who came and remained in Halifax settled in the “north suburb”, an area which had been assigned to them. Referring to themselves as Deutsch, or German, they were incorrectly labelled “Dutch” by the locals. They began construction of a church on their burial ground at the corner of Brunswick and Gerrish Streets in 1756. Church records indicate that an existing building may have been moved to the site and reconstructed. A steeple and a bell were added to create the church. They dedicated it to Saint George, and it soon became known as the Little “Dutch” Church. It was the first Lutheran church in Canada. Recent excavations suggest that the building was placed over a mass grave, possibly of epidemic victims. |
