St. Paul's Cathedral

Anglican cathedral of 1887, the city's oldest standing church

St. Paul's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of the Diocese of the Cariboo and the oldest standing church in Kamloops, built in 1887 in pale wood with a tall central spire and a row of pointed-arch windows in the Gothic Revival mode. It is a modest building — closer to a parish church than to a European cathedral — but appealing on its own terms.

The interior retains its original wooden pews and a small set of stained glass windows. Sunday morning services are held year-round; the cathedral is otherwise usually open on weekday mornings for visitors. It sits on St. Paul Street in the centre of downtown, an easy combination with a walk down Victoria Street and a visit to the museum.
