Old St Paul's

Visitor activity

Old St Paul's is a unique example of 19th Century Gothic Revival architecture. Built in 1866 it was used for 98 years as the Cathedral church for the diocese. Constructed entirely out of native timber, the warm wooden interior of the building is enhanced by magnificent stained glass windows.
