First Church

Built in Invercargill in 1915, this church was constructed in an Italian Romanesque design that was quite different from the other Gothic styled churches. It is one of the finest examples of brick work in New Zealand. The height of the Campanile is 105ft (32m)

You could be standing on an Italian piazza here (maybe apart from the conifers!) Lovely shot of this beautiful building.

@lornareid Well said, Lorna! There was a lot of controversy when this design was put forward.
