St Saviour's Cathedral, Goulburn, Anglican cathedral in Goulburn, Australia.
St Saviour's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in the centre of Goulburn, New South Wales, built in the Gothic Revival style from local sandstone. The building features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, with detailed stonework running across its walls and towers.
Work on the cathedral started in 1874 to a design by architect Edmund Blacket, replacing an earlier brick church from 1840. After a decade of construction, the building was completed in 1884.
The cathedral is an active place of worship for the Anglican community in Goulburn, where services are held regularly throughout the week. Inside, stained glass windows made by local craftspeople tell biblical stories that visitors can observe up close.
The grounds are open to visitors who want to see the architecture or attend a service, and guided tours are available at certain times. The cathedral sits in central Goulburn, making it easy to reach on foot from the town centre.
The cathedral's bell tower holds twelve bells, making it the only regional installation of this size in the Southern Hemisphere. The sound of the bells carries across the town and can be heard from a considerable distance on Sundays and special occasions.
