Church sights in Auckland

  1. A

    St Patrick’s Cathedral

    Auckland’s Catholic cathedral is one of its loveliest buildings. Polished wood and Belgian stained glass lend warmth to the interior of this majestic Gothic Revival church (1907). There’s a historical display in the old confessional on the left-hand side.

    Holy Trinity Cathedral

    Auckland's Anglican cathedral is a hodgepodge of architectural styles, especially compared to St Mary's (1886) next door, a wonderful wooden Gothic Revival church with a burnished interior and interesting stained-glass windows. The cathedral's windows are also notable, especially the rose window by English artist Carl Edwards, which is particularly striking above the simple kauri altar.
