This was the Anglican centre for decades. Superseded by the new cathedral north of Parliament, this one is popular for weddings and funerals.
Old St Paul's is a historic site and city landmark in central Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. The building was consecrated in 1866 and served a dual role as the parish church of Thorndon and the pro-cathedral of the Diocese of Wellington of the Anglican Church from 1866 until 1964. It exemplifies 19th-century Gothic Revival architecture adapted to colonial conditions and materials, and is located at 34 Mulgrave Street, Pipitea, close to Parliament Buildings.

The Supreme Court was established in 2004 to replace the UK Privy Council as New Zealand's highest court, and primarily hears appeals from the Court of Appeal (New Zealand's second-highest court). The Supreme Court complex was completed in 2010, extending on and incorporating the old 1879-built High Court building. The building is open to the public, but you can only look at the courtroom through a window. If you want to see inside the courtroom, join a free tour available three times a week.
