Church of Our Lord, Victoria

As a national historic site, the Church of Our Lord and its annex stand as an important landmark in the heart of Victoria. Erected in 1875 by the Reverend Edward Cridge, this structure stands as a remarkable example of Gothic Revival architecture.

The renowned architect, John Teague, meticulously enhanced the building's Gothic character using board-and-batten siding to accentuate the verticality of its pointed roof, pinnacles, and spire. The church's exterior showcases traditional Gothic design elements of brick and stone, all expertly adapted to wood construction, giving rise to a unique, picturesque building.

The magnificent interior boasts a Gothic hammer beam ceiling, which spans the vast open space to provide an uninterrupted view of the apse and pulpit. Visitors can appreciate the expert craftsmanship of the woodwork and design, while also admiring the stained-glass windows and grand organ inside.
