Doors Open for Churches 2025


Doors Open for Churches is an annual tour of church buildings in Nova Scotia presented by the Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia with the assistance of community members.

This year the tours will be a combination of in-person visits and virtual tours. It will be possible to visit all the churches virtually, as material about each church will be posted on our new Doors Open For Churches Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DoorsOpenForChurchesNS

We will be on tour from August to October 2025. Please join us in celebrating these markers of our communities' history and culture.
