I can't say that I'm a particularly religious person, but my partner and I were both fascinated by this cathedral when we were visiting the island. It looked very beautiful on the inside, and I was very fond of the stained glass. It seems that the cathedral holds AA meetings, so it's good to see it making a positive impact on the community.

This is a beautiful Anglican Church near downtown Victoria, dedicated by Winston Churchill. There are public events and community services as well as regular church services. There's also a labyrinth on the lawn off Burdett Street.

One of the largest religious buildings in Victoria, the Christ Church Cathedral is more in line with what expects of a large European style gothic cathedral, yet having a more modern look and feel. For example, no gargoyles, but yet some modest buttresses. A spectacular interior and massive pipe organ greets visitors entering the cathedral.

When is the best time to visit Christ Church Cathedral (Victoria, Canada)?

Summer brings leaf shade around the labyrinth; in winter, bring warm jackets for outdoor areas.
