DOWNTOWN. Detroit's Sainte Anne church dates from 1701, when Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac landed and built the first structure on July 26 (Sainte Anne's Feast Day). Today's church building, an exquisite Neo-Gothic stone structure dating to 1886, is Sainte Anne's eighth incarnation. Some of the church's noteworthy architectural and aesthetic features include a statue of Saintes Anne and Mary, a wood altar from the 1818 church, three soaring towers, a 26-pipe organ, and four Gothic-style gargoyles that guard the northern facade.
