Wellington's Sacred Sites

Wellington's religious landscape spans from the 19th-century timber Gothic architecture of Old St Paul’s to rural pioneer churches in Makara and the Kapiti Coast. This collection includes Pukekaraka in Otaki, the oldest Catholic mission station in New Zealand still in use, alongside serene Buddhist meditation retreats like Green Mountain Zen. These sites represent the region's diverse spiritual heritage, showcasing early colonial history, Māori mission influence, and contemporary community spaces.
