Christ Church Cathedral

Damaged by the 2011 quake and subsequently deconsecrated, the Anglican Cathedral is still pulling in visitors and photographers even though entry inside is prohibited. The transitional ‘Cardboard Cathedral’ is about three blocks north of the square and the city is still in debate about the fate of this 1800s Gothic building. The Anglican Church is currently considering the reconstruction of the building.
