Unveiling New Zealand’s Hidden Architectural Gems: The Slow Luxury Journey That Transforms Every Step
A Gothic revival masterpiece
Wellington’s Old St Paul’s represents another facet of New Zealand’s architectural heritage, the Gothic Revival masterpiece that demonstrates how European ecclesiastical traditions could be reimagined using native materials. Constructed between 1865 and 1866 entirely from native timbers, Old St. Paul’s is an excellent showcase of Gothic Revival architecture. The interior of the building becomes a glorious riot of colour and light, with acoustics that make every whisper resonate through the timber structure. Old St. Paul’s has evolved into a non-denominational sanctuary where architecture serves as both a spiritual space and a cultural venue, hosting a range of events from concerts to corporate gatherings while maintaining its sacred atmosphere.
