St Paul's Anglican Church, Castle Hill, Anglican church building in Castle Hill, Australia.
St Paul's Anglican Church is a brick building located at 421 Old Northern Road featuring traditional Anglican architecture with simple, dignified proportions. The structure is heritage-listed and serves as an active religious venue for weekly worship and community gatherings.
The building began in 1827 as St Simon's Church within a convict barracks complex before being relocated and renamed St Paul's Anglican Church in 1861. This move reflected the growing Anglican community's need for a permanent, dedicated place of worship.
The church serves as a gathering place for the local Anglican community, drawing worshippers who value both traditional and contemporary approaches to faith. Visitors notice how it functions as a social hub where people of different ages come together throughout the week.
The church is accessible from Old Northern Road with convenient parking available near the entrance for visitors attending services. Those arriving should plan to come during the posted worship times when the building is open to the public.
Materials salvaged from the original St Simon's Church were repurposed to construct a sandstone parsonage across the road from the current building. This surviving structure stands as a tangible reminder of how resources were reused when the congregation moved to its new location.
