Significance: The Old St. Gabriel Catholic Church, which appears outwardly to be a fairly typical 19th century Gothic Revival church, is in fact a 19th century remodeling of a much older French Colonial structure, built ca. 1769 by Acadian immigrants from the vicinity of Les Mines in Nova Scotia (Acadie). The building is significant historically for its association with the Acadian colonization of Louisiana and architecturally as one of the best remaining examples of early French Colonial timber framing in the state.
