The Memorial Church started as the âtownâ church in Charlotte Amalie. One of its earliest places for worship is located on Back Street in downtown Charlotte Amalie. Once the members purchased property on upper Norre Gade, they laid the stone for building a permanent structure in May 1882. On May 16, 1884, Moravian Memorial Church was dedicated. The church name Memorialâ commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Unitas Fratrum, also known as the Moravian Church, worldwide. It is one of the Moravian churches which was established as part of the missions from the church in Herrnhut, Germany.
