Old St Paul's is a gem among churches and a welcome oasis amidst the bustle of the inner city. This early English Gothic-style church was built in 1866 as the Parish Church of Thorndon and served as the city's cathedral until the construction of its more modern successor. Built of native timbers, and boasting exquisite stained glass windows, it is one of the finest of its type in the country. Look carefully at the image of the Virgin Mary at the altar—rumour has it that it weeps real tears! Admission is free.
