ChristChurch Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Cathedral Square, Christchurch, New Zealand
The stone cathedral features a square tower, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and stained glass windows in the Gothic Revival architectural style.
Construction began in 1864 and continued until 1904, representing the first Anglican cathedral built in the Canterbury region of New Zealand.
The cathedral functions as both a religious center and a community gathering space, with regular services complemented by musical performances.
The structure remains closed for restoration following the 2011 earthquake, while services continue at the temporary Transitional Cathedral nearby.
The cathedral withstood multiple earthquakes over 140 years before the 2011 disaster caused the collapse of its central spire.
