St Paul’s Cathedral

TIME : 2016/2/19 13:49:41

Even in Presbyterian Dunedin, the 'established church' (aka the Church of England) gets the prime spot on the Octagon. A Romanesque portal leads into the Gothic interior of this beautiful Anglican cathedral, where soaring white Oamaru-stone pillars spread into a vaulted ceiling. The main part of the church dates from 1919 although the sanctuary was left unfinished until 1971; hence the jarring modern extension. The massive organ (3500 pipes) is said to be one of the finest in the Southern Hemisphere.
