Beautiful church!

I was honored to visit this beautiful old church. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was that the donation area should not have been the first thing you see when you enter the church.

Lovely building

Lovely building shame about the aggressive fundraising. If you can ignore the video as you arrive the building was worth a look.

If you like old churches then go visit -

Its walking distance to town and only 3 minutes from the backbencher or the Thistle where you can replenish any fluids lost on the journey

Beautiful stained glass windows

Quiet unassuming church from the outside. When you enter you are taken back in time. The church is wooden from top to bottom. You feel warmth and reverence and intimacy when you enter. It feels much bigger inside than when you look from outside. The...More

Old and beautiful

Old and beautiful probably is the best to describe this church. Old in term of NZ history, more than 150 years old, do not compare to the churches histories in Europe. Beautiful because it was built from several native timbers of New Zealand, different parts...More

Beautiful Inside

It’s not much to look out on the front, and I wish I’d had more time to really hear about the church, but the inside is gorgeous and worth the look.

Beautiful building - highly recommended for a tour of Wellington

A really lovely little Cathedral in Wellington. Interesting architecture and information boards. I would say 30 to 45 minutes is enough time to spend here for a look around.
