St Agnes Anglican Church in Noupoort, Northern Cape, was built in 1901 as a place of worship for the Anglican community in this small railway town. Noupoort itself was established in the late 19th century as a key junction on the Cape Government Railways, connecting the interior to the coast. The church, constructed in the Gothic Revival style typical of many Anglican mission churches of the era, served both the local white and coloured congregations during the segregationist period. The building is a modest stone structure with a steeply pitched roof and pointed-arch windows, reflecting the architectural traditions of the time. It remains a landmark in Noupoort, though the town has declined economically since the mid-20th century.
