This is probably a must-see attraction in the Niagara region๐The smallest church in the worldโชโโThe living water wayside chapelโช
It is the smallest church in the world that is still open to the publicโช. It is no different from other churchesโช except for its small size. You can worship and pray here๐๐ป, and even hold a special and romantic ceremony here. Wedding๐(If you hold a wedding here๐, you also need to make an appointment in advance. Why is it special to hold a wedding here? Because if you hold a wedding here, you can receive a special commemorative certificate issued by the local department.)
There are only a few rows of double seats inside the entire church, which can accommodate no more than 12 people at most. Although it is small, it is really well-equipped and not small as it should be. This is what makes it special. ๐
โฐAbout the opening hours: In fact, it does not have specific opening hours, but it is basically open if you go during the day, because it is right on the roadside, so please feel free to go. โฐ
๐ซAbout church tickets: This is free๐ to visit, no tickets are required, and no advance reservation is required. ๐ซ
๐About transportation: 1๏ธโฃIf you start from the Great Falls, there is no bus, but you can buy shared bicycles over there๐ฒ. I see that many people come here on shared bicycles๐ต๐ปโโ๏ธ, and the one-way trip is about 20 kilometers. (Itโs very comfortable to ride along the Niagara River from the Great Falls, because it has a separate cycling lane, and the scenery along the way is also great. I really recommend riding here slowly. ๐๐ป)
2๏ธโฃSelf-driving, it takes about 20 minutes to drive from the waterfall. Parking๐ ฟ๏ธJust park directly behind this churchโช, it's free. ๐
๐๏ธAbout the vicinity of the church: There is a farm next to and behind the church, where you can buy fresh produce or pick peaches๐, strawberries๐, apples๐, grapes๐ and other seasonal fruits. (The ice cream here๐ฆ is also good, most of the ingredients come from their own farm.)๐๏ธ
โ ๏ธThe churchโช is on the way to Niagara on the lake. If you go to the town of Niagara, remember to enter the navigation ๐ in advance on the map ๐บ๏ธ, then you will not miss this special...
ย ย ย Read moreNestled in the picturesque town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Living Water Wayside Chapel is a true hidden gem. This tiny chapel, with just four pews, can accommodate a maximum of six people. Built in 1964 by the Christian Reformed Church, it proudly holds the title of being one of the smallest chapels in Canada.
