Interior, view looking up into the south transept; Church Point or Pointe-de-l'Église is a village located on Saint Mary's Bay in the District of Clare, Digby County, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is home to Université Sainte-Anne and is known primarily for the tallest wooden church in North America, Église Sainte-Marie, which is located just north of the University. Today the area in Nova Scotia is populated largely by the descendants of Acadians who returned after the Great Expulsion. Church Point continues to constitute part of a thriving Acadian French linguistic presence in Nova Scotia. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 2/7/2008)
