St Barnabas' Church

St Barnabas' Church is an Anglican church building in the Victorian Gothic style, located at the intersection of Mt Eden Road and Bellevue Road with brick construction throughout. Gardens surround the historic structure, creating outdoor spaces around the building.

The church was originally built in 1848 at Point Dunlop by Frederick Thatcher as a Selwyn church and relocated to Mount Eden in 1877. A partial brick reconstruction took place in 1903, marking a significant shift in the building's development.

The church serves as a gathering place for the local community, hosting regular Anglican services and community outreach activities that remain central to daily life. The stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes shape the visual and spiritual experience inside.

The building is located at coordinates -36.875657, 174.761162 in Mount Eden and is easily accessible. The surrounding gardens offer space for walking around, and its position near Mt Eden Road and Bellevue Road makes it simple to find.

The original wooden structure from 1848 was never fully replaced by the 1903 brick reconstruction, so the timber nave remains preserved beneath the newer brickwork. This creates a visible layer of architectural history visible at certain points inside the building.
