Saint John’s Cathedral is the principal Anglican cathedral in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Located on Ann Street in the heart of the city, it serves as the seat of the Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane and a prominent landmark within the central business district. The cathedral hosts regular Anglican worship, major diocesan services, civic ceremonies, and a rich programme of choral and organ music, as well as concerts and community events.
Designed in the Gothic Revival style, the cathedral was planned in stages, with the foundation stone laid in the early twentieth century and building work continuing over many decades. Constructed largely of local stone, it reflects traditional medieval cathedral building methods adapted to an Australian context. The final major stage of construction was only completed in the early twenty-first century, giving the building a unique history of gradual development while remaining an active place of worship and cultural life for Brisbane.
