St. Saviour's Episcopal Church is the oldest, largest and tallest public building on Mt. Desert Island. The church is named for the French Jesuit Mission, "Saint Sauveur," which was established on the island in 1613. In 1871, land was purchased, upon which the first church was constructed. It was completed in 1878 and seated 325 people.

There are 42 Tiffany stain glass windows in the church. There are other stain glass windows dating back to 1886
