2 Historical and Beautiful Churches in Sydney For First Time Visitors in Australia
The year that I visited Sydney, Australia – I had no plans of dropping by any church landmark. However, there are quite a few catholic churches, cathedrals, and non-denominational churches in Sydney that are rather talked about. Many people have expressed their interest in getting married at some of these churches, because of its history and beauty. Two of them have been repeatedly shared by my local friends, which made me want to at least drop by and see what’s the stir all about!
If you are now planning a trip to down under, but not exactly sure where to start with the preparations… maybe you can throw a bit of spiritual guidance by including these two religious sites! No clue, here are some photos for you to find out!

Step off Sydney’s main drag into this calming 1845 sandstone church. The rather charming neo-Gothic interior is atmospheric, with dark wooden fittings and handsome stained glass; it feels as close as Anglicanism gets to Catholicism. The ornate sandstone tomb is of John Patteson, a missionary bishop killed by disgruntled Solomon Islanders in the nineteenth century.

St Mary’s Cathedral is the spiritual home of Sydney’s Catholic community. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Sydney, and stands on the site of the first Catholic Chapel in Australia. Constructed in local sandstone, the “Gothic Revival” style of its architecture is reminiscent of the great medieval cathedrals of Europe.
