St Paul's Church, Christchurch
St Paul's Church, Christchurch, Gothic Revival church in Canterbury Region, New Zealand
The stone church features Gothic elements including pointed arches, detailed stonework, spires, and a spacious interior crafted by architect Samuel Farr.
The construction of St Paul's Church began in 1873 and reached completion in 1877, replacing an earlier structure built by a Presbyterian congregation.
The church shifted from predominantly European to Samoan congregation over three decades, reflecting the changing demographics of the local community.
The original building sustained damage in the 2010 Canterbury earthquake and collapsed during the February 2011 earthquake, leading to its demolition.
The church held a Heritage New Zealand Category 1 listing until September 2011, when it was removed following its demolition.
