Christ Church Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Cathedral Square, Christchurch, New Zealand
The cathedral features Gothic Revival architecture with locally sourced stone materials and stands as a central landmark in Christchurch's urban layout.
Construction of Christ Church Cathedral began in 1864 under the design of George Gilbert Scott, with Benjamin Mountfort adapting the plans for local conditions.
The cathedral connects to Oxford traditions through its initial concept by the Canterbury Association, which planned a city centered around a cathedral and college.
The structure currently operates from the Cardboard Transitional Cathedral while restoration work continues on the original building damaged by earthquakes.
The cathedral survived multiple earthquakes since 1881 before suffering major damage in 2011, leading to a comprehensive reinstatement project starting in 2020.
