St. Paul's Episcopal Church is a small late Federal style brick church in Point of Rocks, Maryland, built in 1842. It is uniquely austere in an area where the typical country church is a frame or brick Gothic vernacular style. [cite web|url=http://www.marylandhistoricaltrust.net/nr/NRDetail.aspx?HDID=460&COUNTY=Frederick&FROM=NRCountyList.aspx?COUNTY=Frederick|title=Maryland Historical Trust|date=2008-06-07|work= National Register of Historic Places: Properties in Frederick County|publisher=Maryland Historical Trust] The church was built by slaves from the nearby Duval plantation. During the Civil War the church's furnishings were stripped by Union troops who were using the church as a hospital. Following the war the church vestry successfully sued the U.S. government for $1000 damages.
