Introduction

Dunedin's first church was built in 1862 and is New Zealand's first church. The church is designed and built in Gothic style by the famous architect Robert Arthur Lawson. Its main tower is 56 meters high and is one of the iconic buildings around the square. From 1991 to 1992, the church underwent a comprehensive renovation. The internal lobby, bell tower, nave, pulpit, sanctuary, organ, St. Andrew's ambulatory, windows, tapestries, and Morey hall all have unique features and beauty. The spires of the church are clustered together to form a magnificent decoration, making the tower of the church resemble a crown.
