St. Andrews Cathedral

St. Andrew's Cathedral

The Cathedral of Saint Andrew was built in the French Gothic architectural style, shipped in several pre-fabricated pieces from England. The western facade has a 50' window of hand-blown stained glass that reaches from the floor to the eaves.

Kamehameha IV and Emma, his queen consort, were devout members of the Church of England led by their good friend Victoria of the United Kingdom. Inspired to build a place of worship in the Anglican tradition, Kamehameha IV commissioned the construction of what would later become the Cathedral of Saint Andrew. However, the king died on the feast day of Saint Andrew in 1863 before ground-breaking. Kamehameha V, the king's brother, took over the project and laid the cornerstone in honor of his predecessor.
