Old St Paul's

Texte de Wikipédia en anglais, en attente de traduction.

Old St Paul's (formerly St Paul's Pro-Cathedral) is a historic site and city landmark in central Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. The building was consecrated in 1866 and served a dual role as the parish church of Thorndon and the pro-cathedral (provisional cathedral) of the Diocese of Wellington of the Anglican Church from 1866 until 1964. It exemplifies 19th-century Gothic Revival architecture adapted to colonial conditions and materials, and is located at 34 Mulgrave Street, Pipitea, close to Parliament Buildings. While no longer used as a parish church, it remains consecrated, and is a popular venue for weddings, funerals and other services. It is also a popular visitor attraction, and has been described as "one of the best examples of timber Gothic Revival architecture in the world".
