Holy Trinity Cathedral History
The cathedral precinct consists of the impressive Holy Trinity Cathedral, and the historic cathedral church of St Mary.
St Mary’s was originally situated across the road, and was moved to its present site on rollers in 1982. At 50 metres long, it’s the largest wooden Gothic church in the world.
The funeral of Sir Edmund Hillary, first to climb Mt Everest and renowned Antarctic explorer, was held at Holy Trinity Cathedral in 2008.
