Christ Church Cathedral
Vancouver, CANADÀ 2024
Christ Church Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of the Diocese of New Westminster and one of Vancouver's oldest religious structures. It is located in the heart of downtown, at the corner of Burrard and West Georgia Streets, nestled among modern glass skyscrapers. Built in the Gothic style and formally dedicated in 1895 (designated a cathedral in 1929), it stands out for its architectural contrast with the surrounding environment.
The interior features notable wooden elements, including a dramatic hammerbeam ceiling made of old-growth Douglas fir and cedar. The cathedral is a key place of worship, but also hosts a wide range of cultural events, such as choir and chamber music concerts, leveraging its excellent acoustics.
