Église anglicane de la Sainte-Trinité

Église anglicane de la Sainte-Trinité stands in Nice as an Anglican church shaped by English Gothic Revival architecture. Built between 1860 and 1862 by British architect Thomas Smith, it presents pointed arches, pinnacles, terracotta roof tiles, and a large pointed window above the west entrance. White La Turbie stone forms the main blocks, while yellow-ochre stone frames the windows and carved details.

The central nave and two aisles lead towards a three-sided apse, with the altar facing east. Stained-glass windows came from workshops including Daniel Cottier, Mayer and Company, Clayton and Bell, Payet and Roy, and Atelier Lorin of Chartres. The apse windows arrived in 1929, while the Lady Chapel beside the choir dates from 1917. Inside, painted joints imitate stonework, apostles appear across the apse, and a Walker and Sons organ from London stands left of the choir after its 1919 relocation.

A low stone wall and wrought-iron fence enclose the courtyard and parish cemetery. The surviving 1894 presbytery stands nearby, while restoration in 2012 cleaned the masonry and renewed the stained glass. One memorable detail remains the church’s missing bell tower, unusual beside its layered arches and floral stonework.
