Circular Congregational Church
5 minutes
The church was established in 1681, making it one of the oldest continuously worshiping congregations in the South. Originally known as the White Meeting House, it was built as a meeting place for Dissenters who did not conform to the Church of England. The current circular building was constructed in 1891 after the original building was destroyed by fire. NOTE: This 2+mile-long tour covers the essentials of Charleston in 1-2 hours.
