St Andrews Anglican Church, South Brisbane, Anglican church in South Brisbane, Australia
St Andrews Anglican Church is a stone church in South Brisbane with a cross-shaped floor plan, featuring large stained glass windows and a slate roof. The building stands on Vulture Street and displays the craftsmanship of its carefully constructed Brisbane tuff walls.
The church was built in stages between 1878 and 1932, replacing an earlier Anglican building from around 1855. Architect Andrea Stombuco designed it with Gothic elements, making it an unusual example of this style in Brisbane's architecture.
The church serves as a gathering place for the Anglican community and regularly hosts concerts and social events that bring people together in the neighborhood.
The church is easily accessible by public transportation and located near local bus routes. Check the official website ahead of your visit for information about service times and any special events.
The architect's original design included a tower and spire that were never built, leaving the roofline different from the initial plans. This unrealized part of the design often goes unnoticed when visitors first see the building.
