Sydney Bahá'í Temple

The temple features a prominent ribbed dome rising 38 meters high, with nine entrance doors and an auditorium accommodating 600 people.

Construction of the temple began in April 1957, following the acquisition of land in 1956, and reached completion with its inauguration in September 1961.

The temple allows readings and chants from various religious texts during services, while maintaining silence for individual prayer and meditation throughout the day.

Located at 173 Mona Vale Road, the temple grounds remain accessible daily from 10 AM to 2 PM, welcoming visitors for prayer and garden exploration.

The structure incorporates local materials including crushed quartz, Australian hardwoods, and marble, while its dome lantern required helicopter installation during construction.
