Yeah, thats it I think. Although the scene I am talking of is from a different angle, and there are no people in it.

Nice though.

Two lovely Timaru Churchs. I have never been in the Sacred Heart - would love to though.

The neo gothic one is St Mary's - my step grandparents parish church. It is really nice inside.

St Mary's Basilica, Catholic church in Invercargill

First Church, largest Presbytarian church in Invercargill. (People seem to rave about the architecture of this one for some reason, personally I think it's quite bland, but perhaps it was amazing for the era it was built or something)

Fantastic its design, one of a few cathedral built in Gothic-Art-Deco style.

Davee · December 23rd, 2008, 07:25 PM

Great cavan of an interior!!

Not my favorite cathedral though.

I prefer the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Wellington - even though it is minus it's towers due to earthquake risk.

Dunedin is very blessed to have such stunning churches - just adds to the cities fantastic charm!!

yes, all the scots relocated there in late 19thC and they built some amazing architecture with there gifted building skills.

If you have been to Edinburgh, you can see a distinct link between the mother city and her daughter.

Dunedin really is the Edinburgh of the South.

St Patricks in Oamaru.

Such a big basilica for such a small town.

Davee · April 27th, 2009, 02:26 PM

Another Peitrie Masterpiece.

Oamaru and Timaru have some wonderful churches. I was also recently inside an Anglican church called St John's in Invercargill for a film I was helping with an was absolutely amazed at the awesome 'medieval' looking wooden interior. It looked like Hogwarts from Harry Potter or something. The church isn't particularly amazing from the outside which makes me think there must be other relatively nondescrpit churches with amazing interiors. Sadly I don't have pics =(

Out of interest, anyone know the biggest church in NZ by area of the main...um...whatever you call the main hall part of a church?

Cartel · April 28th, 2009, 07:53 AM

That would be the Cathedral of The Blessed Sacrament in CHC Richard. Christchurch having not only the largest church but the tallest too, The Anglican Cathedral in the square.

Cartel · April 28th, 2009, 08:00 AM

Here is the aforementioned

That would be the called the "Nave" in church speak.

Yes, the largest voluminous church is indeed the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament

This one of the very few churches built in the Italo-Byzantine style in New Zealand. A very rare choice when Victorian Gothic Revival was all the rage.

No1_Saint · July 23rd, 2009, 03:11 PM

This is a lovely church in a lovely location. My Great-Great-Grandfather Duncan Stirling built this.
