The oldest surviving Anglican church in Hong Kong, this cathedral building is built in English gothic design and in the shape of a cross. It has seen the city go through a lot of different phases and periods; thus it also has symbolic importance in Hong Kong’s history, especially when during World War-II a congregation of 100 people gathered for the last mass before the Japanese attacked. However, its services were restored, and it serves as a centre of faith even now for all the Anglicans.
