Situated on the corner of Madras and Hereford Streets in the city centre the Cardboard Cathedral was opened in August 2013.
Standing around 21metres high above the altar, the cathedral is made of cardboard tubes and reinforced with wooden beams. It was designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban who is known for his innovative designs and his work with paper.
The cathedral features a large stained glass window that incorporates images from the original cathedral's famed Rose Window. The original window was severely damaged during the earthquake. The new window does not match it exactly, but each section contains one part of the picture on the original.
The Cathedral, which seats 700, holds regular religious services and can also be used for concerts, events and exhibitions.
