Be embraced by the beauty of this gorgeous wooden Gothic Revival cathedral - still sacred, welcoming to all, in the heart of Wellington's heritage precinct. Breathtakingly beautiful - the capital city's famous Old St Paul's, constructed entirely of native timbers, is one of New Zealand's greatest heritage places. Experience the wonderful and sometimes quirky stories of this former cathedral, its historic location and its people. Gaze at Old St Paul's unique architecture, admire its exquisite embroidered furnishings and be awed by the colours of its beautiful stained glass windows. The site where Old St Paul's stands was formerly part of Pipitea Pā, and for almost 100 years, Old St Paul's served as the parish church of Thorndon and the Anglican Cathedral of Wellington. It remains a place of spiritual significance to many and is a popular venue for a wide variety of cultural events and celebrations.

Old St Paul’s is a wonderful Gothic Revival wooden church built by the Anglican Church and completed in 1866. The inside of the church is breathtaking with its beautiful wooden arches and stained glass windows. This is a beautiful heritage building and amazingly almost was destroyed in 1960 (like many buildings) when the new St Paul’s church was built close by. Well worth the visit.

This is a nice building to view both in and outside, so make sure you bring your camera. We attended mass officiated by the Cardinal as 40 children were being confirmed. Although mass was extra long we enjoyed the well organised service.
