★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fascinating and interesting tour around this marvellous building that was constructed following the devastating earthquake that hit Christchurch. A story of the resilience and ingenuity of the locals as well as the tradegdy that befell the city. A must visit when in Christchurch.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A creative response following the earthquake damage to the main cathedral. This temporary structure has managed to create a suitable religious space in a completely novel way. It uses lightweight materials, such a cardboard tubing for the structural frames, and translucent sheeting for the cladding. The interior has managed to achieve the cathedral atmosphere and is a worthwhile experience.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place itself is very impressive... I'm so glad the city came up with this idea while the main cathedral is being restored. Everyone greeted me so kindly as I walked in too and it had a very nice atmosphere and spirit inside! A must visit while in Christchurch

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A peaceful and traditional service with an exceptional boys choir. A good place to celebrate the last Sunday in Advent. Tourists can also visit any time to see this temporary cathedral, built after the 2011 earthquake damaged the original structure.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were visiting Christchurch and decided to have a look at the Cardboard Cathedral. It was a very intriguing building, something I'd never really seen before.
However, I do not appreciate hearing rude statements after speaking to the person in the lobby thats supposedly welcoming us. I would recommend keeping comments about other peoples working life to yourself. Once we left they continued to rudely joke about the topic to our faces. Just a little more thought should be made when talking to people, especially if you're the one welcoming people inside. ?
