St Saviour's Anglican Cathedral
The splendid bell-tower, soaring windows and massive stone work are the first impressions one has of St Saviour's. Named after the Saviour himself, Jesus Christ, the Cathedral dominates Bourke Street and the streetscape of Montague Street.
Royal Letters Patent issued by Queen Victoria on 14 March 1863 established the Diocese of Goulburn giving Goulburn city status and making it Australia's first inland city.
Built around the old St Saviour's Church from 1874 to 1884, St Saviour's Cathedral is one of the finest white sandstone cathedrals in the Southern Hemisphere. Both the Cathedral and Hall were designed by one of Australia's most famous architects, Edmund T. Blacket. The tower was built and bells installed as per the original design in 1988 as a bicentennial project. In 2006 the final three bells were installed, giving Goulburn the only 12 bell and flat 6th country peal in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Forster and Andrews organ contained 43 stops and 2252 pipes when
installed but has been modified several times since. It is regarded as
one of the best pipe organs in Australia and one of the most sought after
by organists who wish to play it.
St Saviour's Anglican Cathedral expresses the grace, care and
forethought of a great architect at the height of his powers. It gains
the effect of spaciousness without being very big, and of splendour
without being over-ornate.
