The Friedensfeld Midlands Moravian Church and Manse are historic buildings in Christiansted, Saint Croix, Virgin Islands which are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

The present church building was built in 1854, replacing an 1819 structure. The 4 acres (1.6 ha) property, with its two contributing buildings, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.^[1]

The two-story church, with its central section about 55 by 77 feet (17 m × 23 m) in plan, was one of the largest wood frame structures in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and was deemed to be "significant for its unusual combination of combination of Carpenter's Gothic and Classical Revival elements.^[2]

The church may have been prefabricated in Germany and assembled by German craftsmen plus local builders.^[2]

The manse building is about 70 by 42 feet (21 m × 13 m) in plan, and is connected to the church by a stone pathway. It was built in c.1810.^[2]
