St. Paul’s Cathedral

Dunedin’s St. Paul’s Cathedral, the ‘Mother Church’ of the Anglican Diocese, stands as a prominent landmark in the central-city Octagon, distinct both architecturally and religiously in a city predominantly Presbyterian. The original cathedral, built in 1863, faced challenges due to substandard materials and an incomplete design. The current structure, constructed throughout the 20th century, now serves as a testament to perseverance and architectural evolution. Visitors today can explore this significant site, experiencing its rich history and the enduring presence it holds in Dunedin.
