St. Mark's Church, Niagara-on-the-Lake, is the oldest Anglican community in the Diocese of Niagara and is the oldest continuously used church west of Quebec. It was established by the first resident missionary of Niagara, Rev. Robert Addison, in 1792. The church, completed as early as 1794 and no later than 1804, was damaged by fire during the War of 1812 and was subsequently restored.

St. Mark's Church is the oldest Anglican landmark in the whole of Ontario and is laid out in the traditional shape of a cross. Founded in 1792, St. Mark's Church is known for its exceptional stained-glass windows, which span more than 150 years. Various changes and modifications have been made over the years, although much of the original structure remains quite unchanged and in an excellent condition.
