St Carthage's Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Lismore, Australia.

The Gothic Revival cathedral stands on elevated ground with a prominent bell tower, Australian marble altar, and detailed architectural elements throughout the structure.

Bishop Jeremiah Doyle laid the foundation stone in 1892, overcoming financial difficulties and construction challenges before the cathedral's completion and dedication in 1907.

The cathedral maintains strong connections to Irish heritage through its twelve bells, ordered from Ireland by Bishop Doyle as a personal gift to the community.

The cathedral serves as the main church for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lismore, accommodating regular services and religious ceremonies for the local Catholic population.

During the 2022 floods in Northern New South Wales, water entered the building and displaced heavy timber pews, yet the sanctuary remained intact.
