This lovely church is probably the most dramatic in Dunedin - make sure you take your camera! I believe it is Presbyterian.

Enjoyed looking round the church then went into the little museum at the back of the church where we were greeted by a very pleasant lady. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the first minister at the church who was a relative of Robert Burns. They also held marriage records there so great for anyone looking up their ancestors from Dunedin.

Building is amazing both outside and in - definately worth a visit! You are allowed to take photos inside as well and it has a great history for you to read about. The view is pretty good also - which leads to why it was build there......

Went to the 5.30pm Christmas eve service. Parishioners very friendly, and asuper Christmas service followed. A beautiful and well laid out church, a real feature of the central city.

We walked to this church from our hotel and were very impressed from the outside appearance and decided to go inside. The stained glass windows inside were well worth the time to go inside.
