The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Sacred Heart stands on Hill Street in Wellington, featuring Palladian Revival architecture with Ionic columns and Oamaru stone construction.
Founded in 1851 by Bishop Philippe Viard, the cathedral underwent substantial renovations in 1983 and remained closed from 2018 to 2024 for seismic strengthening.
