St. John's Cathedral
圣约翰座堂
A Gothic Revival church completed in 1849, and the oldest surviving Anglican church in the Far East.
St. John's Cathedral is located on Garden Road in Central. Completed in 1849, it is one of Hong Kong's oldest Western church buildings and a declared monument. The cathedral is built in the early English Gothic Revival style. Its stained-glass windows were damaged during the Japanese occupation and were recreated after the war. It sits between Hong Kong Park, the Peak Tram lower terminus, and the Court of Final Appeal, so it can easily be visited along the way. Admission is free. Please keep quiet during your visit, and do not take photos during services. It is about an eight-minute walk from Central MTR station.
