St John's Cathedral

St John's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in Brisbane, Queensland, built in the Gothic Revival style. The building features double aisles, high vaulted ceilings, and extensive stonework crafted from Brisbane tuff and Helidon sandstone.

The cathedral was founded in 1901 when the Duke of Cornwall and York laid the foundation stone. The building then underwent several construction phases spanning over a century.

The cathedral hosts regular musical performances through its orchestra and choir, which perform both traditional Anglican and modern compositions. These groups shape the spiritual and cultural experience for visitors and worshippers throughout the year.

The cathedral is located on Ann Street in Brisbane's central business district and is easily accessible on foot. It serves as both a place of worship and a venue for musical performances and ceremonies.

The cathedral contains twelve bells funded through public donations that commemorate various deans and administrators. These bells tell the story of people who shaped the religious life of this institution over the years.
