This Cathedral is just amazing, it is a temporary building whilst the original Cathedral is under massive reconstruction which will take many more years. Following the devastating Christchurch Earthquake on 22/2/11 the Cardboard Cathedral was built. It is a delightful place and carries many stories, truly very moving and serene. We took a 20 minute guided tour which was a wonderful way to get to understand the building meaning. I believe this building will become a 'forever' Cathedral in Christchurch as it is truly unique and has so much spiritual meaning. Well worth a visit.

Christchurch Cathedral in ruins is a sad reminder of the loss and devastation caused by the earthquake of 11 February 2011. The Square was once the vibrant centre of the city, the cathedral its focal point.

Christchurch is a city of great interest, particularly post the earthquake. You don’t have to have an interest in the quake itself, but true urban renewal projects going on make the CBD a great place to visit. The street art, the re-creation of Parks and public spaces and new tasteful buildings to look at. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days looking around, eating out and taking a morbid curiosity in the quake. Do it.
