Cathedral of St. John the Baptist
Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Anglican cathedral in St. John's, Canada.
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist features numerous pointed arches, detailed stained glass windows, and a 60-foot-wide nave stretching 200 feet in length.
The original stone church from 1843 was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1846, leading to the construction of the present cathedral starting in 1847.
The cathedral maintains a substantial Casavant Frères organ installed in the 1950s and hosts regular musical performances throughout the year.
The cathedral provides guided tours that explain its architectural elements, historical significance, and religious functions within the Anglican community of Newfoundland.
The cathedral remains incomplete without its planned spire, which would require approximately 3 million dollars to construct according to current estimates.
