Holy Trinity Church, North Hobart, Anglican church building in North Hobart, Tasmania.
Holy Trinity Church in North Hobart is a Gothic Revival building with pointed arches, buttresses, and a distinctive tower featuring narrow lancet-headed windows. The interior showcases a nave of significant height, displaying the characteristic elements of this architectural style.
The foundation stone was laid in 1841 by the Lieutenant-Governor Sir John Franklin, and construction was completed in 1848 using convict labor. This building represents an important phase of early religious development in Tasmania.
The church now serves the Greek Orthodox community, which took ownership in 2010 and brought new religious practices to this historic building. The architectural spaces remain the same, creating a bridge between two different faith traditions.
Visitors will find this building located in a residential area and easily accessible on foot, with the Gothic architecture viewable both from outside and inside. Natural daylight helps highlight the details of the windows and interior structure.
This building houses one of the oldest peals of eight bells cast in London outside England, first rung in 1848. These bells are a rare example of British bell-making tradition in the southern hemisphere.
