About
Built in 1977 as part of the renewal of Darwin following the devastation of Cyclone Tracy, Christ Church Cathedral incorporates elements of the old cathedral and modern design. This award-winning building is home to a congregation of people equally committed to drawing from the rich resources of the historic Anglican tradition and finding innovative ways of sharing God's love with all regardless of age, race, sex, marital or family status, sexual orientation, ability or wealth.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Interesting blend of older architecture and a modern blended reconstruction. Much of the original building was destroyed in 1974 by Cyclone Tracy. It's worthy of walk around and taking the time to read the information boards that detail the history of the cathedral.

Visited on Saturday 29th April. It's good to see they have retained part of the old Cathedral destroyed by Cyclone Trace as a reminder to it's origins.

I passed the church almost everyday during my stay as I ambled about town and always took the time to admire the facade. An obvious must see in Darwin.

Thank you - now that the Christmas period is finished the Cathedral is open most days from 9 am to 5 pm - feel free to look inside. Thank you for visiting Darwin!

I had to visit this church because it was where my parents were married. Impressed to see they rebuilt the original facade of the church and incorporated into a new modern building.

The Christ Church Cathedral comprises a striking design incorporating remnants of the original church (erected in 1902, but largely destroyed in Cyclone Tracy in 1974) into the architecture of the new church. Overall, it leaves a memorable impression.

The old church was built in 1902 but destroyed in Cyclone Tracy in 1974 and the new church built in 1977. There is still part of the old church in front of the new church.

Lovely setting and a great bit of early Darwin settlement. This is a part of Darwin CBD that has been kept as much as possible in its original design.
