New Castle United Methodist Church is a prominent structure (with its steep-pitched bright red roof) in the small town of New Castle, Craig County, Virginia. Built on land deeded to the church for $1, the frame church on stone foundation is one-story high. The church, built about 1893, is in Greek Revival style. A quatrefoil stained-glass window is in the front gable; on the side are pointed-arch stained-glass windows. The original belfry on the red, standing-seam-metal roof is square with open widows; it has an unusual shaped roof supported by large brackets. The belfry culminates in a sharp point. The vestibule is an addition to the original church as are the two rear sections. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as part of the New Castle Historic District on October 25, 1973. NRHP ID #73002005
