Bishop chooses demolition for Christchurch's historic Catholic cathedral
The historic Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Christchurch is going to be demolished.
Catholic bishop Paul Martin said the 113-year-old building was too expensive to restore and favoured demolishing the cathedral and building a new one for about $40 million on a site closer to the city centre.
He said the earthquake-damaged building on Barbadoes St would cost about $149m to fully restore, while just saving the central part of the building would cost $91m and not be fit for purpose.
