Christchurch Cathedral
ChristChurch Cathedral in Cathedral Square is the Anglican cathedral of the Diocese of Christchurch and one of the city’s best-known landmarks. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and built under the supervision of Benjamin Mountfort, its nave and tower were consecrated in 1881 and the building was completed in 1904.
The Cathedral was badly damaged in the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes and is currently closed for repairs. Under the staged “Re:Opening” plan, construction is due to resume in 2026, restoring the nave, tower and western wall with its Rose Window first, to seat around 700 people, with the Cathedral hoped to reopen by the end of 2030.
The reinstatement is led by Christ Church Cathedral Reinstatement Limited, and project news, history and ways to support the rebuild are available on its website.
