Cardboard Cathedral

What an interesting and different building. Well worth the visit. Free entry, and don't hassle you about donating.nnSuper friendly staff, particularly the young lady Kathleen was it?. Pleasure meeting you and it was great learning about the place and also other recommendations around town.

Popped in while exploring Christchurch and was honestly impressed — simple but stunning. Love how they turned something so unusual into a powerful symbol after the earthquake.nnIt was worth a quick visit! It’s not huge, but the architecture is awesome, and there’s a lot of meaning behind it. Nice quiet place to just sit and take it in for a bit.nDidn’t expect to be so moved by a cardboard building! It's modern, clever, and surprisingly warm inside. It's definitely a must-see if you're in the area.nnClosing time is 4pm

What a beautiful church. I felt lucky to have the chance to visit. It’s free to enter, and the most impressive part is that the main structure is made of cardboard tubes — really amazing.

Interesting Cathedral - built as an interim replacement of the Christchurch cathedral damaged in Earthquake. Gets it name from the cardboard tubes used for the walls and roof. Interiors looks pretty simple viewed from outside, couldn't enter the church as it was closed. Stain glass on the facade looks nice.

I had visited Cardboard catherial few days ago and it was amazing and The Cardboard Cathedral was designed by the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban in association with Warren and Mahoney and opened in August 2013. The church gets its nickname from the use of over 90 large cardboard tubes for its walls and roof, it was designed to serve as a temporary home for the Anglican community, as well as a venue for concerts, exhibitions, and other civic events.
