Holy Trinity Cathedral, Auckland

The Anglican cathedral of Auckland in the suburb of Parnell combines a large modern nave completed in the 1990s with the older wooden Selwyn-era church of St Mary's, moved to the site and preserved alongside. The contemporary building is noted for its bold concrete forms and a celebrated series of stained-glass windows depicting New Zealand's history and landscapes. Regular services, concerts and organ recitals take place within. The pairing of timber Gothic and modern design makes the complex distinctive.
