St. Raphael's Catholic Church Ruins in Williamstown, Canada, is a national historic site that showcases the impressive scale and fine masonry work of one of the earliest Roman Catholic churches in English-speaking Canada. Despite a fire in 1970 that consumed the church, the outer walls were spared, attracting tourists to admire the craftsmanship of the ashlar facing masonry.

Visitors are welcome to tour the site free of charge, with gates open during the day in the summer months. The ruins, declared a national historic site in 1999, offer a glimpse into Canada's architectural heritage and are available for approved events such as weddings, photography sessions, and special occasions.
