Located on Bayou Lafourche in Napoleonville Parish, Christ Episcopal Church was built in 1853 for the sum of $10,000. The Greek Revival structure served the English speaking protestants in a predominantly Roman Catholic community. Christ Church was constructed by George Arment, a local carpenter who is buried in the church cemetery. Dr. E. E. Kittredge donated the land for the church and cemetery. The building is constructed of Louisiana cypress and brick, made on Woodlawn Plantation by Colonel W. W. Pugh, who also supplied the labor for the construction. Slate for the roof and stained glass used in the windows were among the only materials imported from the East. For more information, see the National Register travel itinerary.
