OLD ST. PAUL'S CHURCH

Old St. Paul’s is one of New Zealand’s most important historic places and magnificent example of timber Gothic Revival architecture. Constructed from the selection of the best New Zealand timbers, the church’s special qualities have been retained and enhanced by a series of seamlessly incorporated additions. As the principal Anglican cathedral church of Wellington from 1866-1964, it is a place of national historic significance.

This lovely church was scheduled for demolition to make way for a new cathedral, but in 1966 it was handed over to the Historic Places Trust. Now it is used for a variety of purposes, music and drama events and special services such as weddings, funerals.

Old St. Paul’s Church open from 10am-5pm. It is located at 34 Mulgrave Street. Turn left out the Old St. Paul’s, then walk straight ahead, you will find National Archives, New Zealand.
