Sydenham Heritage Church, Brownfield land in Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community, New Zealand.

Sydenham Heritage Church is an empty site where a Gothic Revival stone building once stood at the intersection of Colombo and Pound Roads. The location sits in an urban neighborhood with nearby shops and public transportation access in the Sydenham district of Christchurch.

Methodists bought land at Colombo Road and Pound Road in October 1876, and the Gothic Revival church designed by Melbourne firm Crouch and Wilson opened in February 1878, supervised by Thomas Lambert. The congregation closed it in 1971 as Sydenham industrialised. Damaged in the February 2011 earthquake, it was demolished without the owners' consent; the rubble was cleared in mid-2017.

The building housed different religious communities, including the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Christian Congregational Church of Samoa after 1971. The space shows how worship areas shifted to serve changing populations in the neighborhood.

The site is easily accessible at a busy street intersection with parking nearby and good bus connections. Visitors can explore the grounds from the street, as it remains an open urban space.

The demolition after the February 2011 earthquake was carried out without the knowledge or consent of the owners, the Historic Places Trust, the council archaeologist or the National Civil Defence Controller. A police complaint was lodged, and it later emerged that Civil Defence had approved the demolition, possibly beyond its legal powers. Rubble remained on the site until mid-2017.
