Christ Church Cathedral

Christ Church Cathedral is an Episcopal cathedral in Eau Claire built in the early 20th century in the Gothic Revival style, featuring limestone walls, pointed arches, and ribbed vaults. The building displays characteristic Gothic details with carefully crafted architectural features that reflect the quality of its construction.

The structure was built between 1909 and 1910 by architects Purcell, Feick, and Elmslie on a site where an earlier church from 1874 had stood. The new construction replaced the earlier structure and marked a turning point in the architectural history of the location.

The cathedral serves as the mother church for the Episcopal Diocese of Eau Claire and anchors the local faith community. Visitors can attend weekly worship services and experience the choir programs that shape congregational life.

The building is accessible to visitors during weekly worship services and offers digital participation options through Zoom and Facebook for those unable to attend in person. Regular service times and special events are best checked in advance to plan your visit.

Six of the stained glass windows were created by the renowned London studio Heaton, Butler, and Bayne, while additional windows came from the Wippell studio in Exeter. These windows show the appreciation for craftsmanship from British glass art workshops known for their fine detail work.
