St Paul's Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Bendigo, Australia

St Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in Bendigo built from red brick with stone detailing and Gothic design. The building features a six-bay nave, transepts, and a bell tower that defines the silhouette.

Designed by architect Robert A. Love, the nave was dedicated in November 1868, the bell tower followed in 1873, and the chancel and transepts in 1927. Originally a parish church, St Paul's became the cathedral of the Diocese of Bendigo in 1981.

Inside, the cathedral holds stained-glass windows, several wooden sculptures and an opus sectile work, all reflecting the high church tradition of the Anglican worship practised here. The 1883 organ, with its colourful pipes, was rebuilt in 1957 and modified again in the 1990s.

The cathedral is open to visitors during regular hours, with services offered throughout the day. You can explore the interior freely and take time to observe the architectural details and artwork.

The peal of eight bells was cast by Mears & Stainbank of London and reached Bendigo aboard the Cutty Sark; it was first rung on Good Friday, 10 April 1873. The tenor weighs 0.71 tonnes, but ringing is now prohibited because of structural problems in the building.
