Saints Peter and Paul's Old Cathedral, Gothic Revival cathedral in Goulburn, Australia.

Saints Peter and Paul's Old Cathedral is a Victorian Gothic Revival former cathedral on Verner Street in Goulburn, built in two stages around the original 1843 brick church. It has a cruciform plan with aisles flanking the nave, a tower in the north-east corner, walls of green diorite porphyrite, sandstone dressings, and a deep purple slate roof with a fleche over the crossing. Inside, the nave measures 141 ft by 33 ft, with aisles 75 ft by 14 ft divided by slender columns of Victorian bluestone from Malmsbury.

Goulburn's diocese was created in 1864, and Bishop Lanigan laid the foundation stone of a new nave on 12 December 1871; it opened in 1872, built around the earlier 1843 brick church. Charles Spadacini designed transepts, sanctuary, chapel, sacristy and tower from 1887, opened in 1890. The cathedral was dedicated on 25 April 1898 and became a parish church in 1969.

The cathedral serves as the local Catholic parish church where regular religious services take place throughout the year. Visitors can observe the ongoing spiritual life of the community within this sacred space.

The site is located on Verner Street and welcomes visitors during appropriate times to view its architectural features. Plan your visit to respect the schedule of regular services held in the space.

The greenstone walls are diorite porphyrite from a quarry on Bungonia Road, reputedly found in only one place near Goulburn. The Hills organ, a gift of the Dagleish family, was installed in the north-east transept in 1890. The 1928 reworking of the altar walls was designed by architect William Wardell, and the murals were painted over then.
