  The original church in The city. Beautiful stain glass windows. Worth a visit. Just a couple blocks from The Octagon  more »

  시내가 넓지 않아서 돌아다니다 보면 들리게되는곳이에요 주말이라 산책나오고 앞에서 운동하는 주민들이 많았습니다. 입장료 없이 가볍게 구경할수있는 곳이에요  more »

  The hotel is located in the heart of the city. It's a great place to stay.

  I was quite surprised to stumble upon this gorgeous building while walking around Dunedin. The church is absolutely stunning with it's many spires. I cannot speak to the inside, as a service was already in session when I arrived and I didn't want to walk in during the middle of it. If you are already having a walk around Dunedin, it's definitely worth a quick look.

  One of the many churches in Dunedin and one of the few located near the Octagon. You should be able to find the church if you walk along the outer street of the Octagon, Moray Place. It's hard to miss since the top of the Church is full of spires. There is also a Heritage Museum on the premises. We only had time to get a few quick photos from the front but it did look like you could go inside to have a look around too.
