St George's Church

Church erected in the 19th century in honour of the Duke of Albany

featured in Sights & Sites

To the west of the town centre is the church of Saint George, built in a typically English Neo-Gothic style.

Dating back to the 19th century, the church was built in honour of the son of Queen Victoria who died in Cannes. Prince Leopold, the Duke of Albany spent much time in Cannes, which is why his brother, the Prince of Wales commissioned this church to be built in his honour.

It was founded in 1887,  and in 1974 it was sold to the city of Cannes, becoming a catholic church, although Anglican masses can still be celebrated here. Visitors can admire the pretty stained glass windows and the marble statue made in memory of the Duke of Albany.
