History:

Given its long history, the church has undergone various iteration through its lifetime to get to where it is now. The first building was constructed in the 1800s with further amendments being made all the way up to 1889.

Architecture:

With sleek white walls with intricate filigree designs, the neo-gothic architecture style of the St. Andrews Cathedral was inspired by a thirteenth-century church in England. Stained glass windows adorn the wall while a replica of the Canterbury Cross is set in a pillar.

Cathedral Choir:

One of the oldest musical institutions in Singapore, this choir consists of adult’s as well as a children’s choir who form a part of the Cathedral community as well.

Current status:

Being over 150 years old, there is much upkeep to be done and many experts are working as a team to sustain this establishment for future generations. While the best luxury hotel in Singapore could survive future turmoil, it is vital that this iconic piece of history does as well! The attraction is just a short walk away from Grand Park City Hall and other residencies.
