Woollahra Church is one of the most iconic and charming heritage landmarks in Woollahra, New South Wales. Originally built in 1875 by some of the area's first European settlers, the church quickly became a symbol of prosperity and community spirit in the growing suburb.

Designed in striking Gothic architectural style, the church featured soaring ceilings, intricate stonework, and large stained-glass windows that filled the interior with natural light. It stood as a testament to the suburb’s 19th-century wealth and cultural development. Typical Victorian era building

Woollahra Church Fire

Tragically, on January 27, 1989, Woollahra Church was severely damaged in an arson attack that reduced the historic structure to rubble and ashes, leaving the local community shocked and saddened.

Following its restoration, the building ceased functioning as a place of worship during the late 1980s. Today, the former church is privately owned and preserved as part of Woollahra’s rich architectural and cultural history
