St. Peter's Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Likoma Island, Malawi

The massive stone structure of St. Peter's Cathedral features tall windows, wooden carvings, and decorative stonework throughout its interior and exterior walls.

The construction of St. Peter's Cathedral began in 1903 when Bishop Gerard Trower laid the foundation stone, leading to its completion and consecration in 1911.

The cathedral represents a central meeting point for the Anglican community of Northern Malawi, combining European architectural elements with local worship traditions.

Visitors can reach the cathedral by taking a boat to Likoma Island and walking approximately 500 meters inland from the ferry terminal.

Soil from Jerusalem rests beneath the high altar of the cathedral, which stands as the third largest Anglican cathedral in Central Africa.
