Situated at Howard near the Ambassador Bridge, the cornerstone for the present St.Anne de Detroit Catholic Church was laid in 1886. The original church was built in 1701 and for various reasons rebuilt eight times.

Outside the building you will see the flying buttresses and four gargoyles guarding the main entrance. Inside the church you will see the oldest stained glass in Detroit. Also notice treasures such as the main altar, the 1818 cornerstone, the beautifully hand carved communion rail, the huge bell and the statue of St. Anne and her daughter, Mary. See the 26-rank pipe organ. Also visit the chapel which has a wooden altar from the church built in 1818.

You may patronise the gift shop selling items like holy books, key chains, tote bags, sweatshirt and golf shirt among many others. You can buy directly from the gift shop or even order online.
