The Taranaki Cathedral Church of St Mary
The Taranaki Cathedral Church of St Mary, Anglican cathedral in New Plymouth, New Zealand.
The stone structure features Gothic Revival architecture with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a prominent bell tower overlooking the city streets.
Established in 1846 as St Mary's Church, the building transformed from a parish church to cathedral status in March 2010 under Anglican jurisdiction.
The cathedral maintains connections with both Anglican traditions and Maori heritage through its position on Pūkākā land of Ngāti Te Whiti.
Regular guided tours allow visitors to explore the cathedral's architectural elements, stained glass windows, and the surrounding memorial cemetery.
During the First and Second Taranaki Wars, the church functioned as both a religious center and storage facility for military equipment.
